Visitors can view and take photos with a traditional display of hina dolls that were generously donated by the Dozono Family. Located in the Cathy Rudd Cultural Corner in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center, the 5-tiered display represents the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court.
