Question:
I'll be visiting Japan very soon, and I would like to know where I could get a ichimatsu doll. Kind of like this one in the picture. I'll be in Tokyo, so I would be very happy if anybody knows a shop of some kind that sell this kind of doll, and if you could tell me the everage cost, that would be nice, too.

Answer:
This kind of dolls is called ichimatsu-ningyou 市松人形.
Lately, many of them are sold as art works, not toys.
So the price is about 40,000 yen.
I think you might be able to get cheaper one at souvenir shops, but just a guess.
Edit:
Sorry, you've already know ichimatsu doll.
And the doll in your picture was made by 光龍斎 Koryusai, about 80 years ago.
If you want antique one, you will see them at this shop.
However it might be more expensive.
