    I was about due to find another wall pocket. This one belonged to the seller's 97 year old granny. I'm guessing that it's 1940s/1950s. I did see some online which are listed as being from the 1920s. I guess the clothes are the clue, since this one isn't marked.

    Thanks to all for stopping by.

      Particularly her forearm and backhand protective sleeves, called UDENUKI, which are uniquely Japanese. She may also be a tea leaf collector, which, traditionally, was reserved for women, much like pearl divers, an all-exclusive women's occupation in Japan. [;>)

      I think her marvelous.
      The moulding around her hat and the other details are wonderful.

      Thanks, NB - I was hoping you'd chime in with something. Do the clothes have anything to do with the date this might have been made?

      karen - she really is lovely. I was surprised she wasn't snapped up sooner.

      No, only that the clothes mean the lady is supposed to be Japanese. Without a JAPAN mark on the piece, though, we can't be certain, just by the pictures alone, that this piece wasn't actually made in China or somewhere else other than Japan. We think it may have been made somewhere else other than Japan, because the clothing isn't correct. You will notice that her under robe is red. Only prostitutes wore such bright red under robes. The headwear is also incorrect. It looks like a wedding headgear, which certainly is not appropriate for farm work! If this piece was made in Japan, then it was made specifically for the tourist trade and/or the U.S. military personnel in Japan. You would not find this piece in a Japanese home in Japan. [;>)
