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)!

Vintage Ichimatsu DOLLS traditionally dressed with Gofun Faces ( oyster shell powder). Basket front has faded but Weaving is sound. Hook for clasp is missing. DOLLS are in ok shape, one has a loose foot, and one has a hand missing. Faces are still good, minor chipping on noses. Kimono fabric still good not frayed or faded.
