From the earliest curse dolls a thousand years ago to the hugely popular character figures of today, objects representing human beings have enjoyed a long and varied place in Japanese life. But precisely because they are so diverse and adaptable, they have never been defined as an individual category within art scholarship, and the nature of their existence remains altogether ambiguous and poorly investigated.
This pioneering volume features roughly one hundred dolls of all genres, from curse dolls, Doll Festival dolls, and true-to-life dolls to mannequins and works of contemporary art. Insights from experts in a range of fields illuminate the facets and appeal of Japanese human figurines, which over the centuries have effortlessly transcended borders to straddle the realms of not only art but also folk tradition, sculpture, toys, and more.
