| Object history | In 1927, children in the United States sent over 12, 000 dolls, with voices that said "mama" to Japanese school children as a gesture of friendship. Japan responded by sending Miss Shimane and her sisters as a thank you. First, a national collection took place in the Japanese schools. Each child donated their yen, equal at that time to about 1/2 a penny. Her Imperial Highness Princess Teru became involved. It was decided 58 dolls would be made by the Yamada firm of Tokyo, who for generations were the doll makers for the royal family. The dolls were made and named after all of the prefectures, or governmental regions, in Japan. Miss Shimane was named for the Shimane prefecture of Japan. Source | |||||||||||||||||||||||
