A serious look at Japanese dollsBy Richard Garriott StejskalAlan Pates second book on Japanese dolls gives the occidental reader a real understanding of the Japanese doll within the context of Japanese culture. The work would be cheap at 2X the price. The photographs are stunning and worth the price of admission. For the collector serious or casual this (and his earlier work; Ningyo) are all one needs.Most highly recommended.
