Gorgeous! Love the ...Oh those apricot blossoms! Gorgeous! Love the birds also, Miyako. But the dolls are just delightful to me! I would have thought they were Hakaida dolls, as I was not familiar with the type they actually are. My Mom has a beautiful Hakaida doll of an old woman sitting and working and which I broke the arm off of as a child. Much to my consternation!!! When a friend flew to Japan years later I asked him to buy a Hakaida doll of any style I could give to my Mom. He brought back two beautiful dolls! The large one with red kimono I gave to Mom. The smaller one of a more child-like face and rounder body, with a baby on her back, I gave to our daughter. Seeing these dolls, I think the ones he brought us were more of the type of these dolls and were not Hakaida, because they were very different from the one I broke. That one is very realistic looking and depicts a common activity. Is that the difference? I would appreciate knowing more about them.A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639768542553618012.post-91812580284540161602018-03-11T20:24:09.454+09:002018-03-11T20:24:09.454+09:00Very beautiful dolls!
