A 64 year old Japanese woman returned to her childhood village about 11 years ago to find it populated with only 37 people, considerably less than a once thriving area with a local company to supply employment. She decided to replace those people who had moved or died with Cabbage Patch Kids style dolls. In the last 10 years she has made around 350 dolls. A documentary called "Valley of the Dolls" interviewed the woman about her "hobby" and she said,"I only think about the dolls." "They are like my children." The dolls are depicted doing everyday activities,sitting on a bench,waiting for a bus,having weddings,going to school,fishing and gardening to name a few. Sounds mostly harmless...seems mostly weird.
