In Japan, figurative sculptures called hitogata, or dolls, have existed in various forms in people’s lives from ancient times up to the present day.
This exhibition will display Japanese dolls from a variety of genres, including voodoo dolls, hina dolls, lifelike dolls, mannequins, and contemporary art, capturing the diverse aspects of these dolls as they are, having survived to the present by nimbly leaping across the boundaries of various fields.
At times, the exhibition will provide opportunities to rethink what “art” is through dolls that overturn our usual, restricted notions of art.
