I'm sorry about the glare in this picture but the dolls in a glass case. This Japanese dolls name is Suzi and she's a little bit worse for wear, her glass eyes are a bit skewed but they seem to follow you wherever you go. Her Kimono is torn. Her face is dirty, and she's got a few scars. But considering what she's been through she's lucky to be here at all. After World War II an American soldier stationed in Japan found Suzi in the ruins of a building in Hiroshima and amazed that she was in such good condition after being in an atomic blast brought her back to the states as a souvenir and later on his family donated her to the museum. I can't look at her without wondering what happened to the little girl that she belonged to.
