In Japan, 2 doll paths, creative dolls and hobby dolls, have evolved and grown into one another over time.
This issue asks the big question of why we are drawn to dolls in the first place and explores the genuine passion artists bring to creating them.
This issue also highlights 12 notable doll artists who took part in the Harajuku Dolls Exhibition, held at Laforet Harajuku in April and May of 2009.
Each artist designed original outfits using popular dolls such as Blythe, Momoko, Super Dollfie, and Unoa as their canvases. You’ll find patterns and instructions included in this volume.
