Background

Scope and content:

Photographs, literature, a book, Dolls of Friendship, and a 1927 "Passport of Goodwill" for the doll called "Miss Taiwan". The doll is in the Material Culture collection of the History Department. It represents one of a group of dolls sent by Japan on a "World Friendship Among Children" tour of the U.S. When the itinerary of the U.S. was completed the dolls making up the group were distributed at points where they had been shown. "Miss Taiwan" was received through First Congregational Church at Eighth and Hope Streets. Important note: In October, 2018 the doll was re-identified as "Miss Hyogo" and not "Miss Taiwan."
