These are from the series of Boy Dolls created by artist Hidekl Koh. These images are from a gallery showing in Japan. I love them. In the west we have no tradition for male dolls,..not much of one anyway.
As a doll fan I love seeing the doll works from other cultures. They see things differently. Yeah they have their own bleep to deal with, but at least it ain't 'our' bleep. I wish a museum or gallery here in the Emerald City would host Hideki. However given our taboos, and neurotic obsessions a SWAT team would probably blow the place to bits.
Stay tuned.
