DESCRIPTION

Caption on reverse [translation]: "To [?] College in Oakland. Shiro Otsuji presents dolls displayed at Girls Festival. Shiro Otsuji said that he sent dolls from the Girls Festival and their display stand to [?] College in Oakland in the U.S. He spoke about this through Ambassador [?]. These dolls were made by Toku Yoshi, a doll maker specializing in the dolls for the Girls Festival. It took two months for Toku Yoshi to make the dolls, which were made from pure gold. The national flag of Japan is on the surface of the folding screen, which is also made of pure gold. A nephew of Shiro studies in the college. The dolls are for the nephew, who is appreciated by the college. The dolls are like money given as a gift at the New Year."
