Japanese Kaga Hachiman Akiyama Okiagari Doll Vtg. from Ishikawa Pref. Japan 073
Vintage & Collectible / Pre-Ownd
This item was purchased by us from a Japanese university professor whose family was moving.Previously, the professor lived with his parents in two households, so we purchased fair a few of Japanese tableware from the Showa period (AD1926-1989) Please see the pictures carefully. Please bid with confidence.
This is one of the oldest toys made in the Kanagawa or Kaga region of northern Japan called a Kaga Hachiman Okiagari. It is given to newly weds, at the birth of a child or to someone recovering from an illness. It symbolizes the quality of perseverance since the doll itself can fall over but stand right back up (okiagari). It is made of a light ceramic and all hand painted with vibrant colors over an orange-red.
We have cleaned and inspected them ourselves and listed.
