Japanese Isho Ningyo (costume or fashion doll), which historically dates back to the Edo period.

I am just at the stage of my life to be downsizing. I\'m not an expert in anything, I try to describe the items and research to the best of my ability, but know that a description may not be completely accurate when it comes to specific collections and terminology. I\'ve had the opportunity to collect some amazing pieces of pharmacy, apothecary, drug store memorabilia and ephemera over the years. My collection just doesn\'t have meaning for my kids, but these artifacts are worth preserving. I sincerely hope they will bring joy, spark curiosity, and be honored with you, or as a gift for a special person in your world. I double pack everything. If you would like more photos or an explanation of anything, please reach out. This being said, I\'m not a major store. I\'m just one human, still working full time, with an amazing family. So it may take a few hours, and sometimes even a day or three before I see your message. But I will get back to youI primarily offer a flat shipping rate, to keep sales simple and so there is no guessing on the total price for you. I cross post, so not all shipping info is the same for each platform, however, I Mainly I use USPS, ground, or priority depending on the piece for sale. That\'s the old fashioned post office. If you prefer UPS, reach out IN ADVANCE OF PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, please. Thanks for looking!
