## Resource

A century-old doll named Miss Saitama is getting a stunning restoration, poised to star in a special exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of a historic cultural exchange between Japan and the U.S. Crafted in 1927 by Japanese artisan Masaru Aoki in Charleston, she was part of a goodwill mission where American children sent dolls to Japan, and Japan responded with 58 exquisite dolls—each representing a region, complete with tiny accessories and passports. Though the dolls symbolized peace, the world soon plunged into war, and some were lost or destroyed. Yet for many, they remain cherished relics of hope. Now, Miss Saitama’s delicate legs are being repaired, her hair styled, and her beauty restored—ready to inspire new generations as a living ambassador of friendship, before returning to The Charleston Museum to continue her quiet, powerful legacy.
