[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4379684, member: 2844"]I agree. Geisha is a profession, not a name for a Japanese woman. The doll Debora posted seems to be of a geisha, but the best clue is at the back. The katana could be original to your doll, in which case she represents an onna-musha, a female samurai. The fact that the katana is out of proportion is never an issue with costume dolls.;) The text probably says what she is meant to be.[/QUOTE]
