Japanese friendship dolls : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese friendship dolls

or Japanese ambassador dolls and the were programs of goodwill between Japan and the United States. American Sidney Gulick, a missionary in Japan, initiated an exchange of dolls between children as a way to ease cultural tensions in 1920s. Japanese Viscount Eiichi Shibusawa responded by initiating a program to send 58 dolls to American museums and libraries.
== Overview ==
The Immigration Act of 1924 prohibited East Asians from immigrating to the United States, which increased tension between the US and Japan. Dr. Sidney Gulick was a former missionary who spent time in Japan between 1888 and 1913. He was familiar with how important dolls are in Japanese culture, and to promote goodwill between the countries he initiated a program to send dolls from the US to children in Japan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moifa - About the Collections - Miss Yamaguchi Japanese Ambassador Doll )〕 Gulick participated in forming a group called the ''Committee on World Friendship Among Children''. In 1927, the first project was to organize the sending of 12,739 ''friendship dolls'', also known as ''American blue-eyed dolls'' to Japan. These dolls arrived in time for Hinamatsuri, the annual Japanese doll festival.
Inspired by this act of goodwill, Viscount Eiichi Shibusawa led a collection in Japan to reciprocate for this gift. The best doll makers in Japan were commissioned to produce 58 friendship dolls. Each doll was 32-33 inches tall and were dressed in beautiful kimonos made of silk. Each doll also came with unique accessories. These Japanese friendship dolls represented specific Japanese prefectures, cities or regions. The dolls were sent to libraries and museums throughout the United States.
Denny Gulick, grandson of Sidney, has tried to revive the doll exchange idea.
