Height 33cm. A work by Katsu Sakamoto, who passed away in 1981. This is a traditional, completely handmade folk toy from Kumamoto Prefecture, made with time and care. It was popular from the Edo period to the Meiji period and is a traditional children's toy. It is said to be a phantom toy, and very few of these remain, making it valuable. The origami is slightly faded due to its age. The paper on the neck is slightly torn. See image 6. This is a valuable work that you won't be able to obtain again.
