16″ Cloth Nanamaigasa. The doll came with the following story:” Nanamaigasa-This is the Kabuki dance play Dojo-ji in which the dancer performs a dance at the Dojo-ji Temple in order to get permission to enter the temple where her lover is hiding.

I received the doll as a gift from my college friend, Kunio Katsunuma in 1974. His sister brought me the doll from Tokyo, Japan.
