JAPANESE DOLL PALACES (Houses)

Japanese doll houses or palaces are called goten.    They are not being made any longer.   We occassionally see them for sale during our trips to Japan but they are not seen on every trip including the two I made in 2005.

Interesting is that I found what I thought was a fairly new one in 1992.  It was missing some minor parts.  So, I went to the area of Tokyo which features many huge buildings where shops sell nothing but dolls.   A young fellow of about 20 had never seen one.  He was the owner's grandson.   Well, out came pop.  He had never seen one either.  So, they called out granpa who set up the business in his youth.  He remembered seeing the last one sold in his huge store about 30-35 years earlier.  So, that dated the end of production around 1957.  Incidentally, I never did find the missing parts and that house was given to a dealer in Japan when we left in 1994.  

Currently, we are offering the following goten.        If interested, please contact my partner as the goten is located in Florida and will be shipped from there.   He can be contacted by clicking on his name   Mr Demers.
