Re: Japanese geisha doll
Hi
Nice doll you got, it is not made of Plastic but a kind of plaster, that is made from croshed shells
Under no circumstances should you try to wash the dolls head or arms and legs if they get a bit dirty , that wil disolve the fine material and make uggly holes.
Enjoy it !!
