The 1920s was a decade of growing tension between Japan and the United States.
Japanese and Americans looked at each other with fear and distrust*. To deal with this, Sidney
Gulick, an American missionary*, and Eiichi Shibusawa, a Japanese businessman, decided totake ( A ). Together, they came up with the idea of an international doll exchange to promote
goodwill* between Japanese and American children.
The project began when Gulick sent out a call to American schools to send dolls of friendshipto Japan. Children throughout the United States responded with excitement to (1)his appeal.
By 1927, Gulick had collected over 12,000 dolls! These were sent to Japan by ship from SanFrancisco. Each doll came with a passport, gifts and a letter of friendship.
When these “blue-eyed” American dolls arrived, they were widely reported on in the news
media. A national ceremony was held to welcome them. Then, the dolls were sent to every
city, town and village as a gift of friendship from children in America. In return, Shibusawa
began a national campaign to send Japanese dolls to the United States. Children throughout
Japan donated money. Over 50 “(2)ambassador* dolls” — including one from each prefecture —were sent: Miss Nagasaki to New York, Miss Toyama to Kentucky, Miss Kochi to Pennsylvania,and so on.
The wave of goodwill lasted over a decade. Unfortunately, the forces of nationalism andmilitarism* became stronger.

When war broke out in 1941, the American friendship dolls

suddenly became “( B )” dolls. Teachers and students were told to kick, cut or burn them.
Government officials ordered them to be destroyed.
World War II ended in 1945 and it seemed that the “blue-eyed” dolls were lost to history.
Amazingly, in the 1970s, several dolls were discovered. During the war, some brave Japaneseteachers and students had not followed orders and had hidden them away. At present, 300
have been found so far throughout Japan.
