About the Item

Three glazed ceramic figures of stylized folk dancers in the Awa Odori festival. One marked "E. Lyles" on the underside. I believe these figures are based on a design by Japanese metal artist Takahashi Keiten for the 1939 World's Fair representing the traditional Awa Odori festival dancers.
