MAKER: Satoru Iguchi

CONDITION: Excellent. Box is a little banged up from shipping. Lid has 3 corners split.
NOTES: Signature board included. Her name translates to "True".
The design is carved completely around the doll. The few spots of decoration were done by the burnt wood technique. She has a "3 dimensional" nose which is almost always an indication of a higher end doll as it has to be carved rather than lathed (a lot more skill and work).
