Japanese figurine circa 1930's or 1940's

By Fouroh, 14 September, 2008
Description

My father brought this home from WWII and he was in Japan, New Guinea and the Philippines. Other than one hairline crack in the fan which was repaired and is virtually invisible, it is in mint condition. It has very distinct Asian characters painted on the bottom. The detail of the wrinkles in the old man's face and the realism of the eyes is amazing. This was not "slapped" together quickly.
