Description: This very unique collectible figurine was supposedly brought here after World War 2 from a soldier that was a friend of the person I obtained it from. I don’t know that for sure but have included a little info about these “dolls” that I found, which seems to say this was common at that time. This figurine is in excellent condition & even has what I was told may be actual Pearls. There is some chipping of paint around the neck but not very noticeable to me & I looked at other figurines that appeared to be the same maybe because of the plaster being so delicate. It is a beautiful piece but please look at the pictures & decide for yourself!

They became popular in the United States after World War II when American soldiers brought them home as souvenirs. o Features- Hakata dolls are known for their soft colors, delicately carved expressions, and curves.
