Mari Shimizu doll works "VITA NOVA"

In the 1930s, Manchuria was born as a puppet emperor.

I think of the exiled aristocrats and the descendants of hidden Christians who pursued their ideal paradise and threw themselves into the frenzy of the oriental Paris Harbin cabaret...

Vita Nova Rebirth

A cabaret that my grandfather once opened in Harbin.

Thinking about the fleeting prosperity of that era and the ephemeral enjoyment...

A phantom theater by Mari Shimizu, who depicts people who lived in the shadows of history with ball-jointed dolls and puppet objects!
