Temporary Exhibit:
Japanese
Friendship Dolls
On display
in the center's lobby display cases.
In 1926, Dr. Sidney Gulich, a missionary who had served in Japan for 25 years
worked with the Churches of Christ in America to form the Committee on World
Friendship Among Children. The Committee wanted to foster better understanding
between the United States and Japan and asked all 48 states for dolls to send to
Japan.
Over 12,700 American dolls were sent to
Japan
in 1927. Japan returned the friendship gesture by sending 58 Torei Ningyo,
or "Dolls of Gratitude," to the United States. When the Japanese dolls went to
permanent homes, South Dakota received Miss Tottori and her accessories,
including lacquer chests, silk parasols, and goodwill letters. Mr. Tottori
came to South Dakota in 1989. He was a gift to the people of
South Dakota for allowing Miss
Tottori to visit Japan for the Homecoming
Exhibition of Friendship Dolls.
