Wardsweb Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I didn't want to totally hijack jazzmansound's thread for his KHorns. So, here is a picture of a vintage doll in a traditional Japanese wedding dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 You can tell her, this doll's face and hands are made from a paste of ground oyster shell called "gofun". The other dolls you saw are in traditional kimonos and have faces done in a painted silk. The one is holding a Samurai battle dress helmet.

jt1stcav Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Ah, memories...my ex-girlfriend is half Japanese (on her mom's side), and she has an extensive doll collection as well. One is suggested to be worth over $5000 if I'm not mistaken, but I don't recall if it's due to age or the materials used to make it. They are very nice though...

T2K Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks for the pic and comments Ward. My wife was given the dolls by her brother-in-law some 35 years ago, purchased while he was stationed overseas (seems funny now that I think of it, the wife claims to be 32). Like Tom says, we don't think of a subject change in a thread as a hijacking, but as a complimentary bump for the original poster. Nice speakers, btw.
