Photographer’s Note

The Ningyo Kanshasai (Festival to Thank Dolls) takes place every year at the Meiji Jingu shrine. All kinds of dolls (Western and Japanese) are collected from children's families after they are no longer needed, displayed for a while and then destroyed. When I heard this I thought it was somewhat wasteful since they could have been donated to poor families around the world.
