Hi I was hoping someone may be able to help me. I recently purchased this beautiful Geisha Doll. There is a tag on it written entirely in Japanese that I cannot translate. There is also a sticker on the underside of the wood that says made in Japan number 54-57. I’ve searched the internet high and low and cannot find any info on her or another doll quite like it. A friend of mine sent me a picture of a doll almost identical to mine but I refuse to believe it’s a Shisui Sekihara. Enclosed are pics of my doll along with the Sekihara(in the orange kimono) Any insight or info anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated

What a beautiful doll! According to Google Translate, the front of the tag reads "Nihonjin" at the top, with "Japanese Doll" underneath,
Th back of the tag (according to Google Translate), says "The beauty that has been cultivated in Japan's long tradition and has been accepted and revived as a violet man now. For wedding celebration, new buildings, holiday celebration, etc. Please give me a heart. Tsubansa EMA
I hope this helps!
