Японцы непревзойденные трудяги и очень талантливый народ. Искусство японское уникально и мудрое.

Fantastic video! Exactly what I have been looking for. Would you mind providing more information on the source of this video, since it is clearly not new. Thank you

Hello Zende, I transferred it from a 16 mm film. I don't have any more information. Regards, Val

@@MastersMagazine Thank you for the quick answer! Ok, I will nontheless use it for my exam because the material is unvaluable, thank you for uploading it to youtube! The old, simpler style of dolls still being present in more secluded villages on the countryside really are reminiscent of the dolls visible in imagery from early Tokugawa period. I am studying the development of the doll in relation to the handler(s) and this material is so very interesting.
