There are many attractive dolls that each tells different stories: Machi-musume (daughter of marchants) and Buke-musume (daughter of Samurai families) in smart kimono, Geisha and Oiran (courtesan) dolls in gorgeous costume, as well as Kabuki and Noh actors taking pose on climax of their play.

How about those Japanese dolls as oversea gifts from Japan?

Since the doll was given as a gift to the United States, as the doll ambassador, in 1927, it has become very popular gift to tell Japanese tradition and culture.
