Back to the
Bamboo Doll Village with Mum. Took some more photos this time,
though! The workmanship on these things is quite something - there are
about 4,000 hairs on the bamboo girls' heads, and each one takes around three
months to design and make. Keep in mind that all of these dolls are made
entirely from bamboo, even the hair! (except the male warrior with white
hair).
Some of the photos aren't of great quality as they were taken through glass.
