There are various types of Japanese dolls, some representing children and babies, some the imperial court, warriors and heroes, fairy-tale characters, gods and (rarely) demons, and also people of the daily life of Japanese cities. Many have a long tradition and are still made today, for household shrines, for formal gift-giving, or for festival celebrations such as Hinamatsuri, the doll festival, or Kodomo no Hi, Children's Day. Some are manufactured as a local craft, to be purchased by pilgrims as a souvenir of a temple visit or some other trip.
Why do these all look like a little girl (a real girl)made up. this is so freakin disturbing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Please someone tell me the name of the artist!!!
ReplyDeleteThanx
Is it really dolls?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a real little girl that has been undernourished and is so sad. I really hope that this really isn't a real child. This would just be too awful and whomever is doing this is really messed up in their head. I can't believe some people would do this to an innocent child.
