In 1962, a Japanese woman sent “Hina” dolls
that is displayed at the girl’s festival days to the then President Kennedy. His
daughter, now ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy wanted to find who gave the
gift because the woman was not specified when delivered. Now, it is found that
the woman is Tsuyako Matsumoto, living in Hokkaido, a 92 years old lady.
It is really surprising that the woman
presented the dolls to the President directly without notifying who she is. And
it is also amazing that Mrs. Caroline Kennedy gave her efforts to find the
presenter after she came to Japan as the ambassador. This is really heart
warming story.
