Oh no! This situation is husband and wife. Abe's wife may be jealousy and give him a divorce.

@kwatt That's why it's written 友好 (friendship) behind the hinaningyo.

The rule with the dolls is: look but don't touch.

PM Abe Shinzo is 5ft 10 inches, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy is 5ft 11 in..... looks inaccurate to me unless Abe inherited Kim Jong Il's shoes

To show 友好 Carolyn doll is sitting on chair. She did not insult short Japanese men, Abe doll has padded waraji-geta. Carolyn is bare feet.

ossan- that was my first thought too. but i looked at some pictures of them together and he looked clearly taller. maybe lifts in his shoes?

An embarrassment for Kennedy to be put in the role implying of a submissive wife, in the Japanese tradition, next to the nationalist Abe. She most certainly won't appreciate this, either as a women or as an American.

Who cares? Trite, even cliche, promo. Nothing else. Won't sell me a doll.
