Since ancient times, these dolls have been beloved by children and adults alike. These "Deko" dolls from the Awa region of Tokushima Prefecture are handcrafted by Kohou Wakasaka using the hand-kneading technique. They are distinctive local toys, with motifs from Joruri (a form of traditional Japanese puppet theater). Condition: Purchased at the time and stored in the original box. There is age-related deterioration. Height: Approximately 22 cm Diameter: Approximately 7 cm (approximate measurements) I have been collecting folk toys and folk crafts from various regions. Currently decluttering extensively as I prepare for the end of life! Thank you for looking.
