115 Pages & Doll-making Patterns

Japanese doll-making is a revered art form and this book provides an in-depth reference to the craft and its history. An important addition for the serious collector and fascinating for anyone interested in doll-making.

The photographs are mostly in black and white which provides a dramatic mid-century charm with some pages devoted to the significance of different hairstyles. It's worth having the book for that alone! The original paper pattern sheet is as-new and still factory-folded within a gold ribbon.

The dust jacket is worn but it has protected the contents well - the cloth and gold embroidered cover is in remarkable condition, especially considering this is over half a century old. The interior is equally superb with crisp, clean and tightly bound pages.

It will be beautifully wrapped in bubble or silk and sent to your overseas home by Royal Mail Tracked & Signed Service or Royal Mail Signed For in the UK.
