My company is trying to sell Japanese traditional crafts

I live in Katsushika ward, Tokyo.
Katsushika, this area has a reputation for producing many leading traditional master craftsman.
My company is trying to sell their works on eBay. 
For example, Japanese doll, Shamisen,Kimono, Wood Carving, Silverware, Cut Glass and so on.

Well, it started out as a request from Katsushika Ward Office. 
Until then, I didn't have interest in Japanese traditional crafts.


But, every time I met and talked various craftsman, I was gradually attracted their works.


This is the Japanese Oyama doll.




 I got goose bumps when I saw this doll. I never saw such a melancholy eye.
In Japan, it is said that the  facial expression is most important thing for doll.
This item were made by Yukio Kikuchi. 
He has handcrafted various kinds of Japanese doll for over 40 years.
He is a third generation of Sho-Giku. He is a doll master who certified by the Japanese government.
