Vintage Japanese Silk Nishi Doll holding an umbrella, on a wooden platform which is identified on its base with the lable Nishi Doll Inc., Ltd. and a lable on top of the platform that indicates "Maiko This is a young japanese dancer in Kyoto." The doll is in excellent condition with only a little dust that accumulated after taking her out of the doll cabinet. She is made of silk, both body, face and clothing. Her wire frame supports the firmly stuffed body which stands on lacquered shoes. The doll is tied into the lacquered wood base by wire. The base is missing flakes of lacquer which is mostly shown in the photograph. Her embroidered kimono is quite beautiful as is her umbrella made of a netted material. Her (most likely) silk hair is pristine with beautiful, original hair ornamentation. I believe this doll was hand created with still vibriant facial features painted on silk over a support (possibly a mask form) under the silk. Most likely made prior to 1990 but I can't be certain since I'm not sure when Nishi Doll went Ltd.
