We went to this bakery called Kinmugi1 over the weekend. Next door to the bakery was a store that sold baby stuff. The shop windows were full of these weird baby dolls. They were strapped into car seats, lounging in cribs and modeling incredibly expensive baby clothes.
It’s not just that the dolls are white — many, perhaps most, Japanese advertisements feature white people — but that they have these freaky, bright blue-green eyes. My cameraphone doesn’t really do them justice, but think Chucky shiling for Babies R’ Us.
1 Literally, “golden grain”, though I thought “amber waves of grain” was funnier.
