Library - Headquarters-Ocala - Alan Scott Pate "Missing Bodies: The Lost Friendship Dolls of 1927"

Alan Scott Pate
Missing Bodies: The Lost Friendship Dolls of 1927


As the leading authority on Japanese dolls and author of “Art as Ambassador: The Japanese Friendship Dolls of 1927”, Pate recounts the fascinating story behind these Ambassadors of Goodwill, dolls exchanged to build
friendship and connection between two countries. Tracing the path of a gesture born out of an immigration conflict, Pate sheds light on the mystery of the fate of the 58 Torei Ningyo (Dolls of Gratitude).
Sponsored by the Kingdom of the Sun Doll Club of Ocala Florida.
