Sole distributor of No.1 Japanese Doll / Samurai armor manufacture Yoshitoku Doll Company

Yoshitoku was founded in 1711, Edo era, as Doll and Toy Wholesaler. The 6Th Edo Shogun gave the name “Yoshino-ya” (Shop name) with the first name “Tokubei”. The name “Yoshi-Toku” came from the combination of the shop name and the first name. The name “Tokubei” has been inherited to the next generation through its 300 year history.

Yoshitoku, first of the kind, with its tradition and the high quality of artistic craftsmanship, has dealt in Doll for girl, Miniature Armor & Helmet for boy (Yoroi / Kabuto), and other arts & crafts.

As proof of authenticity a wooden plate is the certificate of Yoshitoku Product and this guarantees that every product is of the highest quality.

Relation with Royal

Yoshitoku is known today as the Japanese royal brand. For example, when Japanese emperor's princes are born, Yoshitoku presents them with a Japanese Kabuto (Helmet) made of cypress. Likewise, when Princess Diana visited Japan, Yoshitoku hosted the princess and explained Japanese doll culture.

Friendship Dolls

Relation with Royal

In 1927, United States and Japan have presented each other “friendship dolls”. Japan presented 58 Ichimatsu Dolls to each state and all of the dolls were produced by Yoshitoku.

Beautiful story was that after 60 years through the War and long time, dolls were damaged terribly. The Dolls eventually came back to Yoshitoku home for restoration.

Now they were completely repaired and are housed in the museums in the United States. It is said 40 out of 58 still survive today.
