Something I thought I knew intimately suddenly appeared in a completely different light. Within something that appears natural and beautiful, there lurks a sense of incongruity. This work is a Japanese paper doll of twin cherries embodying that "sense of recognition being overturned." Cute, yet slightly unsettling. At first glance, they are adorable cherries, plump and glistening red. But as you lower your gaze, you notice a "personality" present. A peculiar existence, connected by a single stem, two as one. Their mysterious expressions, with eyes that seem to look nowhere in particular, exude a quiet unease beyond mere cuteness. 【About the Work】 The red, lustrous fruit parts are shaped from paper clay and finished with a clear red model paint. Multiple layers of transparent red, also used in tail lamps, are applied to achieve a fresh, moist texture. The leaves, tiny fingers, and eyelashes are all made from Japanese paper. Stainless steel wire is used as a core material for the cherry stems, with layers of Japanese paper adhered over it. It is difficult to bend by hand, so there is no need to worry about losing its shape. (※The stem part of the leaves uses thin wire, allowing for slight adjustments to the angle to your preference.) Because it is made by layering Japanese paper multiple times, it has a solid firmness despite its delicate appearance. The base has been intentionally omitted to allow the piece to blend naturally into your living space, whether on a bookshelf, TV stand, or a quiet corner of your study. While direct sunlight and water should be avoided, you can enjoy it for a long time with normal indoor use. 【Suggested Display Ideas】 Approximately 10cm in height. While perfect for a display case, it also looks wonderful placed subtly within your everyday scenery, such as on a bookshelf, TV stand, or in a corner of your study. - Place it near the fruit basket in your kitchen. - Tuck it among your stationery, like pens in a pen holder on your desk. - Conceal it behind a small potted houseplant. - Let it perch on the edge of an accessory tray, or intentionally place it in a hidden spot. 【As a Gift】 Ideal for collectors of cherry blossom merchandise or those who love fruit-motif 雑貨. Its form, "two as one" connected by a single stem, also makes a humorous birthday gift for twin friends. Furthermore, it's a perfect present for those drawn to aesthetics that are "cute yet unsettling," or "beautiful yet slightly incongruous," such as dark fantasy, art dolls, or ball-jointed dolls. Gift wrapping (wrapping paper + ribbon) is also available. Normally, it comes with a "One Of A Kind" card, but if it's a gift, you can change the message. If you wish, please select "Gift Wrapping" from the dropdown menu. 【About the Artist】 An doll artist specializing in one-of-a-kind art dolls and miniature works, primarily using Japanese paper.
