I don't know the details, but it seems to have been created with a real person as a model. I'm not sure if it was commissioned when they passed away, but it might also have a meaning similar to the Korean word "Moggu" (wooden doll). It says: 1964.8.9 Kyoto. It's old, so it has scratches and dirt appropriate for its age. Also, the pigment or paint may come off slightly, so please be aware of this. Height: Approximately 17.1cm The size is approximate. The actual item may differ slightly in color from the image. The neck is loose.
