The Love Dolls

.

A Love Doll is exhibited at Vanilla Gallery in Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese sex doll maker Orient Industry exhibited their life size Love Dolls in “Artificial OTOME (girl) Museum,” in collaboration with Vanilla Gallery. The main market for these Love Dolls are not only the collectors who love to live with them, but also others including widowers.: photo by Taro Karibe, 28 April 2016

Not only to learn to love to live with them but to learn to love them is all that's required of us during the exhibition

They don't ask very much of us really

But / and to live with them

Is a step up for us a step out of the lowly husks of beings we were in our miserable permanent toil and squalor

But / and

The slots were not what we thought they were we thought they were eyes

Smiling at us with happiness

Love and happiness

Happiness and love and that other thing

What was it again

The love dolls with their smiling slots have come to promise all these things to us and these are the best

Promises anyone has ever made to us

So we do the best we can to learn to love to embrace them and to live with them and to love them 

Not that the mud and squalor ever really bothered us all that much but still just saying
