Japanese porcelain doll and crafts exhibition

My mum likes Japan and its culture. She found this little ad. last month which stated that there are a exhibition of Japanese crafts and asked me to fetch her there. Went there at the first day of the exhibition (unfortunately, at the time of this post the event was over already.. sorry, didn't get this up within the time for those who might be interested).

Its located at Machalister road one of the building (forgot the name) but it was beside Kuang Ming Newspaper's building.

Here's the look around the building.

The Three Patriots sign

The hall way inside the building

The old structure design retains beneath a new coat of paint

Bamboos, my favorite plan

We went inside, saw a sign pointing to the entrance to another room where the exhibition was held. We were one of the first few there, taught my mum how to operate her cellphone's camera she then went on a snapping spree. So did I cos I wanna post these up here.

There's a few people presented there, mainly woman... well, probably guy are not cut out for these stuff but I'm okay with them.

Here's a look at the exhibition:

Japanese uncle (think is husband of the Japanese creator woman), people are seen signing autographs near the entrance

Ahh... a sign which tells you what porcelain doll means... saves me more detailed explanation ; )

And if those weren't enough, here's the picture walkthrough (somehow that doll face looked creepy)

Some reporters gathered up for interview session with translator and creator

Japanese Porcelain Dolls!

Yet another doll nicely dressed up

Okay, this looks kinda creepy. Cat face naked doll... =_=''

Erm, she doesn't look so happy, maybe she doesn't like this dress

this erm, nice dress... but dun really like the face

Somber looking doll

Human doll hanger... I'm sure the creator didn't meant to do such pose

Cute baby doll with mini bunny companions

That's it for all the dolls I've snapped, next up are other items such as clogs, fans, etc.

Clogs in Japanese is call GETA

GETA in all shapes and sizes and decoration, my mum bought the top LEFT black GETA

Mini kimono! cutesy!

Medium sized Kimono, look at the colors!

These got hanged on top of the wall, I'm pretty sure it's life sized.

Another life sized Kimono, nice Japanese art work there which you can see clearly if its laid these way

the mini dresses, not sure if anyone of these looks Japan origin but they're made by the Japanese woman

This hand bag is made from recycled paper with Kanji written all over it. The container are covered with a layer of shinny wax or shellac making it feels quite durable.

Japanese Fan! these definately one of my favorite item but I didn't buy


Angels!! ; )

Well, overall a nice experience there. Being able to see some authentic Japanese crafts once in a while. My mum bought 3 pieces of crafts there, the GETA sponsored by me for mother's day present, a mini Kimono sponsored by my dad and 1 small doll from herself.

The end... : ) thanks for coming by!
