Japanese Lacquerware Ouchi Dolls (Includes Brand-New Wooden Box) A pair of dolls crafted from solid wood cores, giving them a substantial, weighty feel. They are entirely hand-painted with gold accents; the facial features—specifically the eyebrows and eyes—as well as the intricate details of their attire, are depicted with exquisite artistry. The creation of these dolls involves a meticulous process requiring six to seven layers of repeated lacquering; completing a single doll can take anywhere from three months to as long as three years. As shown in the final image, there is a minor, subtle blemish on the torso of one of the dolls.
