Long Description
 Has umbrellas with great detail, and patterns that were constructed from ciggarett boxes. I have researched and found that she is a dancer, a "hat seller" form a certain Japanese play, perfomed in kabukis. The doll's face is very delicate and dainty, unlike other geisha dolls I have seen. The doll is now in my mother's possesion, was given to her when uncle passed away. Its kept in an airtight glass container.
History
My uncle was stationed in Korea during Vietnam War. He bought this doll from a peddler on the street, everything supposedly handmade on doll.
