This is a unique doll representing Chinese culture which was made in Japan! Each section of the doll appears to be separate, with each section fashioned together with bands inside of the doll — which allows the doll’s limbs and neck to move freely (see photos — one is of the back head/neck lifted up from the body to show the materials and bands used)!
