Isao Sasaki was born Nov. 11, 1960. He has won multiple awards including an award for this pair.
The Sasaki family of makers (father and wife) have other dolls similar to this style. I have seen them referred to as Sendai dolls here, but in Japan, they are not grouped with a special name. The Sasaki's are not even in Sendai!
Still one of my favorite creative dolls - a nice classic creative example.
