With the proliferation of rubber and celluloid after the Industrial Revolution, the 'Bisque'doll, a creation of 19th century artisans,disappeared. In a period long since gone famous masters hand made each Bisque (white porcelain fired twice) doll and today the scarcity and mystery surrounding these antique dolls is made much of by many people. Sizuka Kadokura is working to create these dolls in the traditional way and has spread the word of this formerly lost art for many years. Through her efforts she has captured the charm of the original Bisque doll creations. These are not replicas or copies but faithfully reproduced creations that possess the novel and colourful sense of the originals. The individual charm that Sizuka's creations possess have the power to make the onlooker stop in their tracks. The gallery is anticiparting the day that guests can take these creations up in their arms just as they once did.
Last year, an unexpected number of people visited the Internet Homepage and it was a good year because we received many peoples' ideas and suggestions. I am very sorry that I was unable to renew the Homepage due to the fact that I was busy as well as a beginner and thus unaccustumed to using the Internet. In the Homepage I was able to find El Patio Kurashiki (Kurashiki Okayama Ken) which held the successful exhibition of "Little Handsome Boy 3" and also Gallery Mai (Mr.Mouri's residence, Houfu Yamaguchi Ken) "Little Handsome Boy 4". A very sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the exhibition a success and presently we are looking towards the successful presentation of the "Little Handsome Boy 5" exhibition at th annex at the Shibuya art house.
