Hana "Asobime Ningyo (Courtesan Dolls)"

Powdered and rouge, these prostitute dolls await their beloved.

"Hana" is a prostitute born in a snowy region.

She discovered doll making and has been creating and photographing them for 18 years.

This lyrical collection of dolls features photographs of prostitute dolls taken in former brothels and other locations, accompanied by the thoughts and stories that she embodies in each doll.

The dolls are me.

--The story of a nameless woman.

~~~~~~

Pick them and display them,

Enjoy them,

Let them bloom, and love them...

I wasn't born for anyone else,

The fragrance just spreads on its own.

I was simply born

to be a flower.
