Reflections of a geisha

Back in the 80s when I was a kid, my dad worked for a Japanese company and had to spend a month there on a business trip. I remember before he left, he asked me what I wanted as a gift, to which I replied "a doll!" I was a bit thrown when he got me a lovely, traditional Japanese geisha doll. I guess I wanted a Barbie or something? I dunno.....anyway, apart from the fact I destroyed the case it was in and the hat she was wearing (is that the right term? hat?), she's still in pretty good condition - 22 years later! And soooooo much better than a Barbie :)
