Here are some more information for Japanese Wood Doll:
Before the 1900's, dolls were made out of materials such as paper mache, wax, clay, and wood, depending on the culture. By the 1900's, porcelain dolls were made and enjoyed increasing popularity. Early porcelain dolls from this time period are considered to be antiques and are a popular collector's item.
German Porcelain Dolls
The Germans seem to be one of the leaders when it comes to antique porcelain dolls. There are several manufacturers and people who just start out collecting porcelain dolls often begin their collection with certain German porcelain doll styles. Many believe that they are more than just dolls. They are little works of art. You can find information about German porcelain dolls online and in books. There are still doll shops in Germany that use traditional methods. Consider contacting one of them for a tour.
Other Porcelain Dolls
Germany isn't the only place to purchase high quality porcelain dolls. There are other manufacturers throughout the world including other countries in Europe and throughout North America and Asia. A good collector can often tell the differences between manufacturers. If your collection is for personal instead of profitable reasons, you probably don't need to worry about the quality and market value.
Purchasing Porcelain Dolls
Keep in mind that if you collect porcelain dolls, you will want to do research on both the manufacturer and the doll to make sure you are buying the highest quality possible. You wouldn't want your doll to have obvious flaws. If you are more concerned with collecting to make money, make sure you research to see which types of dolls are most valuable.
Making Porcelain Dolls
You can also make your own porcelain dolls either by purchasing a kit or buying all the materials separately. Many companies who sell clay products also sell the proper materials and bisques to create porcelain dolls. You can also take classes so you can learn the craft. The benefit of making your own is that you will be able to create the dolls that you want. The downside is that this is a time-consuming approach.

When folks think of new york city, one of the first thoughts they have, after the famous buildings, is Broadway. The Great White Way, as it was known in many years past, is home to a couple of the best NYC nightlife on the face of the earth. There are thirty-nine pro theatres that you're going to find essentially on Broadway or near Broadway in NY town. Famous names,eg the Winter Garden, the Shubert, the Palace, the New Amsterdam, the Majestic and the Lyceum as just a handful of the great houses where today's exciting Broadway plays and musicals are presented to the public. Tickets are listed at exclusive costs ; if you and a pal decide to go out for an easy dinner and a show, expect to pay in the $500 range and masses more for box seats and more elaborate dining fare.
Musicals are not to be missed as a vibrant part of NYC nightlife in Manhattan. Well-known favorites like Chicago, Grease, gypsy, men and Dolls, South Pacific and Pal Joey can be enjoyed, as can new material such as Spamalot, Hairspray and wicked. Straight plays also abound on Broadway. You might select from David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow or American Buffalo, Peter Shaffer's Equus, Tracy Letts' comedy August : Osage County, and Anton Chekhov's immortal classic The Seagull, among many currently in production.
there are lots of Broadway plays that were evolved from other mediums, including well-liked films. Shows like Shrek, The 39 Steps, evil, Young Frankenstein, Billy Elliot the Musical, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, White christmas, Mary Poppins and others.
There is a vibe in these old houses of times past, when people flocked to the theatres to see the newest plays, and that aura continues today. People get dressed to the nines to attend the theatre, and there is a spirit of camraderie and bon vivant as the fans settles in together as a group to participate in the experiences that the show offers. Some of the theatres,eg the Winter Garden, are vintage houses. This is one of the hotspots on Broadway and around the town where you may be in the thick of NYC nightlife, now let's look at the BARS

The dolls on the website says they are made of compacted paulownia wood sawdust, which would be similar to composition, I would imagine, and gofun, which I believe is crushed shells.
