Description
| Love it, hate it, dwell on it, or make it work: ...... About 90 carefully selected items including cursed dolls, hina dolls, live dolls, mannequins, Rika-chan, and even Takashi Murakami's figurines! A 1000-year history of the deep, long, and complex relationship between [Japanese] and [dolls (hitogata)] is verified. The history of figurines in the shape of [human beings] is long, beginning with cursed dolls in the Heian period (794-1192) and continuing in various forms in our daily lives, including figurines that fascinate many people today. Due to their flexible and diverse characteristics, dolls have not been clearly defined as a category in the field of art, and their existence has not been properly evaluated because of its ambiguity. This book introduces approximately 90 dolls from a variety of genres, including curse dolls, dolls for dolls, live dolls, mannequins, and contemporary art. This groundbreaking book explores the aspects and charms of Japanese dolls (hitogata), which have lightly transcended the boundaries not only of the fine arts but also of tradition, sculpture, and toys, from the viewpoints of experts in various fields. [Table of Contents] Chapter 1: Is it a Human or a Human Gata? Chapter 2: Puppet Incorporated into Society, Puppet Creating Society Chapter 3: The Emergence of the Sculpture, the Birth of the Sculptor Chapter 4 The Doll as a Work of Art - The Doll Art Movement Chapter 5 War and dolls Chapter 6 Dreams, Longings, and the Seriousness of Adults Chapter 7 Dolls as if they "existed" - Iki ningyo (living dolls) Chapter 8 Commerce x Doll x Sculpture = Mannequin Chapter 9 Project the love and desire of Pygmalion! Chapter 10 Hitogata is Hitogata |
