#Japan
Senji Nakajima is 62, and he’s in love with a silicone doll! Saori is a life-sized doll with incredibly lifelike features. Senji treats her as a human, taking his silicone doll on dates and engaging in one-sided conversations.
Their romance isn’t unique - the demand for silicone love dolls is growing in Japan. Watch the documentary 'Substitutes' to discover the world of silicone love and companionship.
Did you know the Japanese believe dolls have souls like humans, and they can’t be just thrown out in the garbage? That’s why temples and shrines hold special funeral ceremonies for unwanted dolls.
We wonder if there’s a ritual for a former silicone doll… 🤔
