No dolls. What is this?

No dolls to eliminate disasters. Doll is a famous traditional handicraft in Japan, and the Japanese call it "humanoid". Common Japanese dolls are girls wearing Japanese hairstyles and kimonos. Dolls originated in the edo period. When the daughter of a samurai family gets married, there is often a custom: the doll symbolizing disaster relief will be used as a dowry for the daughter to take away. Nowadays, Japanese families usually put dolls as decorations in their houses. But many people think this doll looks very penetrating.
