Paper-made dolls

Girl holding paper seems ideal to me ! Beautiful smile you dont find in paper dolls !

great picture of day, thanks Mr Fujimoto. That smile is infectious!

I definitely needed the small shadow of Ichiro in his baseball helmet and holding the bat to see that it's him in that green robe.

Ichiro ??? I thought it was Darth Vadar !

bandacleo - Har!

cool, but is it all in paper, I see hints of nice fabric there

Yeah cute chick, nice one

I like her huge smile...a lots.

She's terribly cute! :-) I think it's the first time I've seen a wall-to-wall, deep-hearted, totally genuine smile in almost 8 years in Japan! :-)

No! Stop smiling! You will get laugh lines!

But, nice teeth!

“Hinamatsuri” (Doll’s Festival) is held on March 3 to pray for young girls’ growth and happiness.

I saw an exhibit about this in the Nagoya Airport a few years ago. It was much more interesting than duty free shopping!

Damning with faint praise, Betz?

You got me, Nessie.

In fact, as I recall, these beautiful paper made "decorative items" are supposed to be tossed into the river as part of a purification ceremony of Chinese origin which falls on the third day of the third month.

Now it would be very difficult for me to throw something so lovely into a river. Duty-free goods, well I could hurl that mass-produced overpriced junk in lickedy split and feel like I did my bit to purify the world!

Wow she is beautiful!!... ohh yea nice paper dolls :P... She's sooow keuwt
