The exhibition is divided into two sections – one showcasing human-shaped dolls and the other featuring Kokeshi wooden dolls. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore beautiful dolls depicting various characters, from children to adults, in different everyday life and theater settings.

Additionally, the unique wooden doll Kokeshi provided by Tsugaru Kokeshi Museum will be showcased. Originating from the Tohoku (Northeast) region of Japan in the 19th century, Kokeshi dolls are commonly sold as souvenirs for children in hot spring towns in the region.

In addition, on August 6, the Asia-Japan Economic Cultural Cooperation Centre was inaugurated in Osaka, Japan. According to VOV, the center aims to promote Vietnam’s trade and culture, as well as spread the cultural values of Asian countries.

Vu Hoang Duc, chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Gunma Prefecture, stated that the center will serve as an ideal place to introduce Vietnamese culture and display high-quality goods from Vietnam and other Asian nations. Moreover, it will host cultural and artistic events for the Vietnamese community in Japan and facilitate investment promotion forums to connect Vietnamese businesses with Asian countries.
