Dreaming of Japan, Again!
It's only been two weeks since I my most recent trip Tokyo, Japan. My quick two and a half day layover left such an impression I want to return soon.
However, for now, a trip to San Francisco's Japantown would have to do.
I have often wondered what these dolls represented. It was just last month I learned about the annual Doll Festival celebrated every March 3rd. For the Japanese, a doll is not just a toy. It is believed to possess a soul and also thought to possess the power to bring health and wealth to young girls.
Cheers!

Some stone landmarks in Japantown depicting Japanese immigrants and their culture in the City by the Bay
I believe this stone sculpture depicts the internment of Japanese Americans in camps in the US during the Second World War
