Japanese dolls

My mother runs with folks like that (and is one of those folks) in the US. It's interesting to watch them work, because they work quickly and with good economy.

I had to spend many weekends as a child with all of the exhibitors (parents go to a show, then so do you). I always gravitated to the folks who could do their work onsite (the broommakers, carvers, etc, and there were some turners making toys from time to time).
