These are very nostalgic Miyoro dolls. They are made by applying Japanese paper to a plaster mold. They were sold in souvenir shops in the past. The figure of a mother soothing a child is adorable. These are Miyoro dolls, which depict rural life. The ones made by Miyoro-san were made by layering many sheets of Japanese paper to create a base and then painting them. The item for sale here has Japanese paper applied to plaster, but it is hand-painted and I think it successfully recreates the charm. The original Miyoro-san dolls are very expensive. They are no longer seen these days. Several types of Miyoro dolls like the ones being offered were sold. This is one of them.
