    I found these two six inch tall Japanese bisque dolls in a box in the attic. They have sleep eyes and joints that are strung together. On the back of their heads is a maker's mark. Does anyone recognize this mark?

    First two characters are 人大. 'human size', according to google translate, but the meaning changes in combination with other characters, and there seems to be a 3rd character, but it isn't clearly visible in the pic.

    These may be Ichimatsu-ningyo dolls. 'ningyo' seems to mean 'human form'.
