The dolls, which could close
their eyes and say "Mama" —
something Japanese dolls could
not do then -— were sent
to
. kindergartens and schools wheI re, they were treasured. Some

| even went to the imperial fami­
ly’s palace as "state guests.”

But war clouds
eventually
engulfed Japan, and the
dolls
became victims of a "hate-America” campaign.
Two years after the. Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor, the war
began turning in the West’s fa­
vor. In 1943, Japanese military
authorities issued an order —
fantastic as it may
seem
that the dolls be destroyed in
public. It was
reminiscent of
Nazi-book-burning.
The orders were obeyed al-

most to .the letter. The dolls we­
re removed from honored places
and destroyed. One report gave

this description:
"The dolls were dragged out
onto the school grounds, pierc­
ed or' smashed with
bamboo
spears, doused with gasoline
and burned together with then
passports and other belongings
in a ritualistic display on how
to loathe the enemy.”

Miyuki Hoshi of Aizu-Wakamatsu recalls "the pain in my
heart" when teachers at
her
school burned the students’ doU
in front of them. She secretly
saved the doll’s clothing and
wishes she’d' had the courage to
save the doll.
Chiyoko Ota of Yamagata re­
calls being told to destroy her
school’s doll.
"But I couldn’t do it. I hid
the doll and was reprimanded
by the principal, and again told
to destroy it. This time I sank
it in a swamp after covering it
with a red mantle.”
Despite the wartime animosi­
ty, there were others who secre­
tly ’ defied the order and saved
some of the dolls.
The dolls’ story came to lig­
ht when Ayako Ishimuru, a tea­
cher, read a news report five
years ago about a U.S. doll tre­
asured by a school in Kofu, TSO.
miles from Tokyo. She visited
the' school and learned the doll’s
name was "Ginella, 3 years old”
and its donor was a Dr. James
Wilbur Hondorf of
Rochester,

Miss Ishimaru says she wrote
a letter and later visited Roch­
ester, where she learned there
had been a Dr. Hondorf but he
had moved away and not been
heard from.
Miss Ishimaru returned to Ja­
pan. determined to .locate other j
dolls that may have
survived. ;
Her search uncovered 16 dolls.

Then a committee was
for­
med and began collecting, photos,
news reports and the dolls and
passports — issued by the U.S.
government.
'
The committee learned
that
33 of the dolls sent to Japan 51
years ago under a "world peace
program” had survived.

It was able to assemble 20 for
the exhibit, which.
opened on
August 15 to commemorate the
33rd anniversary of Japan’s de­
feat in the war.
Jiro Amano of Maebashi, a coam
mmittee member, says: “I
confident that there are others,
perhaps 100 in the rural areas
that lived through the war and
hate. I hope they can be bro­
ught together in the interest of
everlasting Jap an-U.S.
friend­
ship.”

Japanese Semi-rural City Wants to
Be Known as “Naval” of the Country
TOKYO. — Officials of Nishi­
waki,, - a little known semi-rural
city 270 miles southwest of To­
kyo, have declared that their ci­
ty should be called “heso” (na­
vel) of Japan.
■ They don’t mean to challenge
Tokyo as the nation’s political

and economic centre. Nor do they
claim a cultural heritage more
valuable than Kyoto’s.
Their city was founded only
25 years ago.
With a population of -39,000
predominantly agricultural, Ni

hardly any modern industry.
Its only money-making
in­
dustry, cotton weaving, has been
badly damaged as the soaring
value of the Japanese yen ero­
ded its international competiti
veness.

He said, “one of the ideas we’­
ve come up with is holding a
“heso festival.”
iSightseers will be invited to
a new “navel shrine” where they
can dance “navel dances” an tu­
ne with a “navel chorus song,”
he said.

“But, the shrine part can be
taken care of by the private sector,” Ouchi explained.
■ Ouchi, the planner, said local
townsmen aren’t as enthusiastic
about being Japan’s - navel as
mayor Takase but they, never­
theless, are showing an incre­
asing interest.
He also suggested inviting a
national marathon meet to the
city.
“The navel is a good place to
start running isn’t it,”
Ouchi
said.
“After all, this is where the
Japanese standard time line runs
through. Perhaps we can interest
watch makers- and astronomical
folks.”
Ouchi, however, said, being the
navel has its own disadvantages.
“Some reason, Japanese sight
seers seem to like to travel to
[frontier areas, be it the north­
ern end of Hokkaido or the so­
uthernmost tip of Okinawa, ra­
ther than absorb the interests
in the center of things, such as
the navel.”
