Japan's amazing sex dolls have long been so much more than just adult companions. They have inspired art projects and serious photography while, in turn, real life has also unsurprisingly inspired them -- such as the Lady Gaga love doll a few years back. And now things have come full circle
LEiyA is a Japanese photographer who shoots women who are made to look like they have become a sex doll (love doll).
She does this as an Osaka-based service called the "Human Love Doll Factory," which was launched by LEiyA in December 2017 and offers to transform you into a "living sex doll," as ...
Tokyo Weekender recently published a photo report from a visit to the Orient Industry showroom and an interview with the CEO, Hideo Tsuchiya.
As regular and loyal readers will know, Orient Industry is the leading sex doll manufacturer in Japan and whose luxury silicone companions are stunning.
Some love doll owners have rented out apartments for them, take them on dates, and develop an intimacy with the life-size figures that goes beyond simply the sexual surrogacy that genital parts made from soft elastomer allow.
Tokyo Weekender then spoke directly with Tsuchiya, who is now in his ...

One of Japan's top porn stars today, Mana Sakura, has had her fully naked body recreated as a large figure.
The first in a projected series of figures called Sexy Idol, Mana Sakura has given her approval to the awesome figure, which comes in three sizes (25cm, 30cm, 35cm) costing between ¥200,000 and ¥300,000.
Now how's that for beating your fellow otaku's figure collection?
Sadly, there's no hole included so this can't officially be used as a mini sex doll... but there are surely other ways to enjoy it!
Ordinarily we would immediately point readers in the direction ...
We all loved stripped and exploring the bodies of Barbie dolls when we were young, but how about a doll that size or thereabouts that you can actually have sex with? Mini sex dolls -- sex dolls the size of Volks Dollfie dolls or even smaller -- have long enjoyed a cult reputation online. You can find all kinds of videos of people who have customized small dolls so that they can be penetrated.
When the Dollho came along, it was like the answer to people's dreams. Not surprisingly, the doll set sold like crazy.
There have been others, not least the fantastic Libidoll and a great series of ...
Now that's what we call a retirement.
When Rin Sakuragi announced she was leaving her career in adult video at the age of 28, she (and her managers) decided to do so with a bang.
In the time since we've seen not one but three sex toys dedicated to the goddess.
Fans can sample the Rin Sakuragi AV Retirement Special Clone Onahole, a regular masturbator toy from Nippori Gift based on AV idol's pussy.
Then there's the Geki-fera Vacuum Rin Sakuragi Blowjob Onahole, an awesome entry in the bestselling series of oral sex masturbator toys.
And if that's still not enough, ...
Every few months along comes another one: a sensationalist English-language news wire article about Japanese sex dolls that appears everywhere, eager for clicks and comments.
This time it's an article with the very sensitively headline "Silicone Sally: Japanese men find true love with sex dolls". It comes courtesy of AFP, about physiotherapist Masayuki Ozaki turning to a silicone sex doll, Mayu, when romance in his marriage dried up.
Lonely guy buys sex doll. Hardly news. Goodness knows how AFP found this story or if it's even true. We are naturally somewhat suspicious of someone who ...
Yesterday we wrote about a Japanese photographer who has turned his private house into a sex doll museum -- and opened it up to the public. Now here are three developments related to Japan's top sex doll brand, Orient Industry.
Orient Industry has released a 40th-anniversary book looking at the history of their sex dolls (also known as love dolls) and how they are made. You can order it from Kanojo Toys, though be aware that the text is only in Japanese.
The Kishin Shinoyama photography exhibition we previewed in April has now started at the Shibuya art space Atsuko Barouh Arts Drinks ...
Photographer and love doll super fan Yoshitaka Hyodo has converted his private house into a personal hihokan-style sex museum.
Located in Yashio City on the border between Saitama and Tokyo, Hyodo has even opened up his house to the public for Golden Week. If you want to visit, it is open from April 30th to May 5th. Reservations are required, though, so check his blog for more details. Admission is ¥1,000, but apparently free for people with sex dolls. Photography is allowed for non-commercial purposes.
This is the fourth time he has opened up his collection across two floors ...
The legendary erotic photographer Kishin Shinoyama's latest project is a series of portraits of luxury Japanese sex dolls.
The "Love Doll x Shinoyama Kishin" exhibition will run at the Shibuya art space Atsuko Barouh Arts Drinks Talk from April 29 until May 14.
Shinoyama is best known for his full-frontal "hair nude" shoots, including Rie Miyazawa's iconic one in the early 1990s. He also recently released a nude photo book with Haruna Yabuki (Mari Abe).
As we know, high-grade silicone Japanese sex dolls by the likes of Orient Industry are famous the world over and have fairly ...
