The first bisque dolls what Japan ever made are called Sakura Bisque.  "Sakura" stands for cherry blossom, the national flower of Japan. 
The dolls were made by local porcelain manufacturing factories before major companies like Morimura started mass producing porcelain dolls by using doll head molds from Western countries. 
We named this doll "Momo," peach blossom that represents little Japanese girls.

Height:  10"(approx. 25cm)
Eye size:  16mm oval flat type paperweight eyes(dark brown)
Head Circle:  8" (approx. 20cm)

(The body for Momo is available from Mystic Molds for $50.00)

You can also use a baby composition body or a taller French type composition body
to complete this doll.  Both makes sense.
