$7300.00 Japanese Gosho Ningyô with Samurai Attire,
Signed by the 10th Generation Ningyo Artist Rozon. This master work is the results of ten generations and three centuries of ningyo artists. Unfortunately, it

amazing examples of 20th century Japanese art. It features so many wonderful
examples of great Japanese art forms...
