Gallery Otafuku displays Otafuku dolls collected over more than 50 years by Noriko Shinkawa, the wife of Kiyotsugu Shinkawa, the founder of Shinkawa Jewelry, who traveled extensively to various regions.
Following the miscarriage of her fourth child, she received an Otafuku doll, resembling her own figure, from her husband Kiyotsugu as a gift to bring her smiles.
Since then, she has collected over 700 dolls of various sizes, receiving them from people during her travels. With the hope of spreading a chain of smiles throughout the world, she exhibits these traditional Japanese dolls.
