ドール – Doll

In Japan, traditional dolls are called ningyō, but contemporary dolls are called dolls.  These dolls are gaining popularity nowadays.  They are made with cast resin and their joints are spherical so that you can move their body parts.  Doll sizes are usually about 40-60cm (15-24 inches).  There are custom made dolls, anime character dolls, and dolls called one-off models, etc.  The one-off models are unique and are usually sold by lottery.  They often cost more than one thousand dollars.

This doll is a one-off model and was sold by auction at a charity event for about $60,000.
