Kewpie Dolls

Kewpie dolls have an unlikely origin story, starting as a comic strip by American artist Rose O'Neill For Ladies' Home Journal in 1909. Their sweet, cherubic style gained swift popularity, and they have since been used for paper dolls, porcelain dolls and even as the mascot for a Japanese mayonnaise!  These plastic dolls are created by the Obitsu Doll Company and are made exclusively in Japan.
