"When a beautiful Japanese doll made for Ophelia by her good friend Schnuffy falls into the wrong hands, it's bears to the rescue! With the help of a sage Japanese inspector and ingenious sleuthing from an unexpected source, everyone's favorite band of bears solves the mystery of the lost doll in a memorable romp through Japan." - from the rear outer jacket. "Beautiful, exotic Kyoto is the backdrop for the latest escapades of Ophelia B. Clise, the endearingly dotty and extravagant Parisian shop owner who won so many hearts in Ophelia's World. This time there's a mystery afoot - a mystery that will take Ophelia and her friends halfway around the world from her snug little shop on the Rue du Bac. It all begins when Yukiko, the exquisite Japanese doll Ophelia's friend Schnuffy has had made especially for her, disappears under suspicious circumstances. The bears lose no time organizing a rescue mission, and the search that ensues leads them from the wooden decks of the regal Japanese schooner Kabuki Maru, through the temples and teahouses of historic Kyoto, right to the very peak of Japan's revered Mount Fuji. Along for the hunt are all the lovable, singular characters who inhabit Ophelia's world: Ophelia's "dear friend" Clarence; her efficient partner Zenobia: shy Mona Lisa; Ricky Jaune, shop concierge; and, of course, M. Ritz, the shop watchmouse. In Japan we are introduced to a whole new cast of friends, including the venerable Inspector Takahashi Go of the Emperor's Imperial Prefecture; Mr. Ningyosan, whose superb dollmaking abilities may conceal a dark secret; Mr. Ito, a gentle dollmaker's tailor who befriends Yukiko; and stout Benkei, a wayward sumo wrestler who shadows the bears' footsteps. Ophelia's Voyage to Japan is a comical, high-speed adventure, filled with intrigue, romance, and fun that is sure to please Ophelia-lovers both young and old." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
