Why You'll Love Her
Feast your eyes upon the profound beauty of age and wisdom with Madam Sakura, an extremely rare, one-of-a-kind vintage Asian Oriental sculpted character doll by the late, masterful artist Marcia Backstrom! Madam Sakura is a captivating aging geisha. Her powdered white face, accented with tiny painted red lips, draws you in, while her sleek ebony black hair is styled into an elaborate headpiece adorned with delicate flowers, leaves, and tassels. She wears a magnificent merlot-colored silk kimono, beautifully contrasted with pale green and blue print fabrics and a wide black and white sash. Her incredibly long fingernails and sculpted brown clay booties add to her authentic charm. In one hand, she gracefully carries a decorated hand fan accented with a red poppy flower.
Styling
Madam Sakura is an extraordinary centerpiece, perfect for bringing rich cultural depth to your miniature scenes. Feature her elegantly posed in a Japanese-inspired tea room, a serene parlor, or a meditation space perhaps alongside other miniature Asian artifacts or fine silks. She would also command attention in an Oriental garden scene.
