My first SLR camera, a Minolta SR-1 purchased new in the early 1960s. As a promotional gift, the camera came with a free Japanese geisha doll on a base with a Minolta plaque. It seems this must have been a very limited promotion, because I have been unable to find any other images of one of these dolls. A slightly late image for World Photography Day. Another image of the geisha doll in the clickable PiP.

A slightly late image for World Photography Day. Can anybody read Japanese? I'd love to know what is written on her bag. In the clickable PiP, the doll with the SR-1.
