Here is a 3D printed doll, cloned from a real human’s head, that you can never unsee. She has a few friends that may or may not haunt you in your dreams later on… The cloning service is popular among some Japanese women looking to preserve that special moment in life such as their wedding day, [...]
Misconceptions about the nature of the geisha profession have been allowed to spread throughout history largely unchecked, and the geisha world has remained to this day a very private, elite world, shrouded in mystery. These vintage postcards of ‘bathing’ geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha) taken from the Meiji (1868–1912) and Taisho (1912–1926) eras of old [...]
On an archipelago south of Tokyo, there is a lush paradise-like island where residents must carry gas masks on them at all times. Miyakejima, part of the Izu Islands, is part of an unrestful volcanic chain that has seen six eruptions in the last century, the last in the year 2000 when a mass evacuation [...]
These women are the last of their kind.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is how a new and refreshing take on ‘smell my finger’ was born…. An application that enables you to send smells through [...]
It seems we’re not the only culture obsessed with chasing unattainable ideals of beauty. If you trawl the internet as much as I do, you may have stumbled upon some articles gaining online buzz with titles such as “Asian girls: before & after make-up”. There are now hundreds of these before and after photos online [...]
For the first time in a long time, I’ve been checking the news sites online before I log into my Facebook – (at least I’m honest). The media coverage coming out of Japan has had me ultimately consumed for the last seven days. I had been back and forth on the idea of coming forward with [...]
