Japanese ningyō depicting a young attendant or page in armour, wearing a jingasa.

The earlier Yamazakura catalogue described the figure as a daimyo’s page and dated it to the later Edo period. Those identifications are retained here as the previous catalogue attribution rather than presented as independently documented provenance or a definitive date.

A characterful example of Japanese figural doll-making with particular interest for collectors of samurai-related decorative arts. Please refer closely to the photographs for construction, surface condition, costume and surviving details.
