I'm looking for a book

That I read as a kid in the early 70s. I can remember what it's about but not the title. It was a library book that I checked out over and over about two japanese dolls. The little girl they live with builds them an authentic japanese tea house with screens made with rice paper and tatami mats and makes them bed rolls to sleep in. And the story is told from the doll's perspective. The detail was wonderful and it was a great introduction to the culture. The title was the doll's names something with blossom or flower...
Does anyone know of a service that might be able to help me locate the title? Or does this book sound familiar? I really want to share it with 8 year old Emily. Just one more thing I hate about aging - things slip through the cracks of memory. Thanks!
