Japanese Vintage Kimekomi

I was looking for multicultural dolls for my Diversity lessons. Today I bought her from the antique shop. She is a lovely Japanese vintage doll represents young lady dressed in rich kimono and a gold hat('eboshi). She carries a pair of dip- buckets, painted with waves motif, on a yoke across her shoulders. She performs a traditional dance of Shiokumi woman who carries sea water for the purpose of making salt, and the dances to the memory of her poet lover expresses her longing for him. The doll made in Kimekomi technique, which means 'tuck in'. The clothes made of silk.This lovely doll crafted about 1960's.
