.susanorlean remembers Kumiko Serizawa, whose dolls were noted for their grace and detail. For more than a decade, she displayed her work at Disneyland’s annual Japan festival.
You can find the usual sorts of dolls—L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G. Remix Lonestar, My Squishy Little Dumplings, Adora Sweet Baby Boy Peanut, and the like—just about anywhere, but in Japan you will also encounter other kinds: delicate, handcrafted figures whose heads, hands, and feet are made with a ground-oyster-shell paste calleddolls with acutely specific designations .
During the Second World War, for safety, Serizawa’s parents sent her to the countryside to live with family friends. A few years after V-J Day, she got a job housekeeping and waitressing at the Atami Hotel, a U.S. Army R. and R. facility, where her American supervisors gave her the English name Amy. Japanese employees at the facility were forbidden to eat any of the hotel’s American food while they were working.
In 1958, the Serizawas, who by then had a baby daughter, Naomi, decided to immigrate to the United States; they travelled on a ship carrying general cargo, a few nuns, and several orphans. They started a home in the San Fernando Valley. Most of the families of the Japanese American friends they soon made had immigrated to the U.S.
