From the Land of the Rising Sun















to the Land of the Free.












I leave my home the next morning,













Preserving peace through figures.
Bidding my friends a goodbye,
Goodwill within forgiving hearts.
Lost but never forgotten

Now I prepare for flight.
Delicate Kimono of silk,
I vanished. Lost in voyage.
Rare in the collector’s eye.
Arrived in America!
Endless stories in fabric
Lost but never forgotten

Unabridged, a youthful home
Restoration, at its roots.
I yearn for others to make it.
Missing dolls make endless hunts,
praying for them safe travels.
Camouflaged from the world.
Lost but never forgotten.
