Title: Vintage Japanese Folk Craft Corn Husk Doll with Temari Ball - Shinanoji (信濃路) - Showa Period A delicate and poetic vintage Japanese folk art doll (*Mingei*), handcrafted in the scenic Shinano (Nagano) region of central Japan. The figure is skillfully shaped entirely from dried natural corn husks (corn shucks), showcasing the subtle grain, warm flaxen tones, and organic textures of the plant fibers. The doll portrays a serene young girl in a graceful kimono, gently cradling a finely crafted Japanese *Temari* ball woven with white threads and metallic cords. Mounted on its original natural wood base signed with black brush calligraphy: "信濃路" (*Shinanoji* / The Road of Shinano).
