This item was given to me by my paternal grandmother in the Showa 30s and 40s (1955-1975) and was displayed in a glass case at my parents' house for a long time. It's made with the traditional, careful craftsmanship of the past, and the faces are refined. There is some soiling and a crack in the base of the girl's figure (photo 8), but it's rare to find these for sale now, so I believe it's valuable. I hesitated to part with it, but as I live in an apartment, I've decided to offer it for sale, hoping someone who understands the nature of used items will consider it. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring the glass case back from my parents' house, but I will carefully package the item for shipping.
