japanese wood dolls? or

[allypeez]

I found these in my shoe box saves, because I like dolls that are different like the three faced doll that i have. Not sure if this is light weight wood or driftwood made? For sure they are not plastic. The japanese dolls have little signs on the back of their shoes but no signature or anything else on the bottom of the feet. Is this of the 60's?  or the 70's?  please let me know. thanks.

Just got a reply from my friend....

Hello!
They are actually Korean Dolls.  The bottom letter is the person or company where they produced the dolls.  They don't seem very old one.  I think it could be 25-30 years old because its style was very popular in Korea when I was growing up...  It could be little older, but not that old....  The letters are chinese letters because we do use chinese letter as an initial sometimes.  Hope it does help...
