There are a number of parts that are made and then joined together. The head molds are quite realistic.

There was an interesting display at the Yokohama Doll Museum showing how to make Japanese dolls. There is a great deal of skill and patience that goes into making each doll. The video shows a fast version of what is involved.

I had a really good video clip I wanted to share with you on this, but after spending 4 hours trying to get the Youtube audio swap feature to work have to take a break. I keep trying to add some music over the existing unrelated audio but it wont add for some reason. Anyone else had problems with that feature on YouTube?

I might have it working now by making the video private on YouTube. If you hear music instead of my niece talking then it is all good.
