Lea Baten's unique and resourceful book assists in identifying the familiar and unfamiliar figurines known as ningyo, and explores the roots of the word itself: both meanings, "doll' and "human shape," are associated with play and ritual, life and death. These dolls are not necessarily just play-things with pretty faces, but range from mass-produced trivial toys to true art pieces and imposing ceremonial ornaments. Materials vary: they can be made from stone, clay, paper and wood; or brocade, ivory, pearl and lacquer. Many of the enormous variety of ningyo may be considered pieces of an unsolved puzzle that are in danger of disappearing without ever having been totally understood in the West. This book investigates the numerous meanings of the "human shape" in Japanese culture, from pre-history to the present, and explores the many, varied and subtle connotations ningyo have for the Japanese. This book not only identifies and describes ningyo, detailing their history and meaning, but also contains a comprehensive index and one of the most extensive bibliographies on the doll motif ever published in English. Scholarship, clear illustrations and a touch of humor guarantee a fresh and original approach to known and unknown ningyo.

Ichimatsu: Japanese Play Dolls is a lavishly illustrated art historical exploration of the Japanese doll commonly known as Ichimatsu. Beginning with its associations with the celebrated Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu I in the early 18 the century, this book traces the evolution of ichimatsu-ningyo from static display doll, to articulated play doll, to status-associated gift dolls, to diplomatic envoy. It includes a detailed discussion of the jointed doll known as a mitsuore, looking at its technical evolution as well as its place in the Japanese doll economy of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It covers, as well, the soft-bodied play doll of the mid 19th century known as a daki-ningyo and its impact on the evolution of Western play dolls. Within the 20th century, we explore how this particular form of doll evolved into depictions of young girls and boys dressed in their formal best that served as special gifts for festivals as well as weddings, detailing its surprising use as a diplomatic gift beginning with the Japanese Friendship Doll exchange of 1927, but also including less-known cultural exchanges of the 1930s. For much of its history, ichimatsu were the product of the proverbial "unknown craftsman," with no real identifiable makers. But, beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lineages specializing in these beautiful dolls became established. This book presents these lineages as well providing biographical profiles of their most famous practitioners. The book includes a discussion of the "state of play" today, introducing modern masters of the form. For the collector there is a section detailing the salient points one should consider when evaluating an ichimatsu. And we conclude with an artist signature index allowing non-Japanese collectors better identify their dolls. Each section is enlivened with the use of a combination of archival as well as full color imagery highlighting this beautiful doll form.
