i just bought one of these and thought it would make a useful japanese female civilian.  Not typical of the style of dress worn by japanese women in the 40's but many still did dress like this.  Regardless, i thought it was a cool little figure.  Description says it's 4 1/4 inches tall but it's actually 3 1/2.  Was originally made by Plastoy for their samurai line, now in production by Safari.
