I am enthralled by the porcelain ball-jointed dolls made by the Japanese artist, Koitsukihime. She began creating ball-jointed dolls around 1980, inspired by the European bisque dolls of the late nineteenth century. After having a powerful dream one night about a doll, she has ever since pursued that girl and made dolls. Her dolls range in size, anywhere from 38cm to an incredible 130cm.
I'd love to share photos and excerpts from her books that I have, but don't want to risk copyright infringement. There is one photo in particular, of a hand with jointed fingers and fingernails so well painted, you would swear they are real. The photos below are in the public domain on the internet.
Her website is "Chateau de Lune" www.koitsukihime.jp/ and she is also on Facebook.
Angel Lahoo on Flickr has a great album dedicated to her favourite Koitsukihime dolls. www.flickr.com/photos/angel_lahoo/sets/72157600505093107/
