I have found a picture of the dolls I had stolen… They are called Jenny Dolls… But I do have a doll such as these. It was giving to me along with several other momentos from my time in Japan!

Sandy, I’m so sorry to hear that your dolls were stolen. The doll in this image may resemble the dolls you purchased: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kimono_doll.JPG

There are so many different styles of dolls in Japan that it would be hard for me to provide you with additional information or images of the dolls you had stolen.

Could you please tell me or give me a picture of a doll that I purchased in Japan back in 1992 that resembles an american Barbie Doll. My dolls that were stolen were from Japan and were dressed in Kimonos. I purchased them at Tokoyo International Airport for $100 american dollars.

any assistance you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,,,,,,,Sandy

Now I know what these wooden dolls are called. I saw Yodobashi selling these cute little things from 1,500-3,000 yen.

Great write-up, Shane!
