My friend Kunio Katsunmua sent me the book from Japan to go with the doll. A brief summary of the story is a grandmother and grandfather find a baby boy in a peach. When he becomes a young man, he and his animal friends, a dog, an ape, and a bird fight and defeat the king of the devils and is rewarded with treasure. I purchased the doll in 1997 at the Tesores Trading Company in Austin, Texas.
