The exhibit, called “Artificial OTOME (girl) Museum” showcases “love dolls” inspired by paintings of Japanese women made by artist http://Ikenaga Yasunari.
Admission to the exhibit is limited to those over the age of 18. Besides the “Love Dolls,” the exhibit includes a leaflet that explains how the dolls were made, interviews with company officials and more artwork, according to Time Out Tokyo.
