There’s an extraordinary, almost encyclopedic post over on MetaFilter that discusses the history of Japanese dollmaking and highlights the sometimes creepy, sometimes darkly erotic work of contemporary artists such as Kai Akemi. If, like me, you’ve ever been curious about the origins of the modern Japanese obsession with robots, cyborgs and love dolls, the numerous linked galleries are a great starting point for further intellectual masturbation.

Unable to shell out thousands of dollars for a Real Doll? If you live in Japan, you’re in luck: Customized ‘love dolls’ can be rented out by the hour, in a special brothel no less.

You give communication before the play time end 10 minute. Especially, it is not necessary to wash the doll. Dispersed also the clothes please leave. Reservation time is not exceeded, please pay attention your sea urchin.

Um, ewww. I’d hate to be the motherfucker who has to clean up afterwards.
