What is going on Members of the Barrio

So you don't miss out
On any of my new videos
Today we are going to be exploring something
So that is so unique
I don't think I've ever covered something this unique
On the channel before
We are in Nagoro, Japan
This is a very remote part of the country
And this entire town
Is full..of life size dolls
That's correct
Life size dolls
That look like residents that used to live here
This is going to blow your mind
I think it's hard to see who's real and who's fake here
If you look from far away
And you need glasses like me
You're like .. is that real, is that a real person
Is that a doll?
It's very interesting guys
A little background really fast
There is a local artist named Ayono Sukimi
Who lives here
And she left town for about 10 years
When she came back in 2002
She found that most of the residents, had moved away
So in order to honor them
She created these life size dolls
That were exactly like them
Literally, to the point where.. it looks like the person
That you are staring at
The doll is supposed to be that local resident
And it's going to make more sense
As I show you around
Here we are. We're in front of some sort of a store.
We've just got.. these local residents
Sitting here
I mean these could have been
His glasses I don't know
Are you actually going inside
Are you sure?
It's a litlte bit scary when you see tons of them around you
We've just entered..I think one of the main
Buildings in the town
And there are.dolls everywhere
I'm a little spooked out
Not going to lie
I feel like people are watching me
But. They're not real
I tink
This is so life like to the point
Where you even have the beard
And the eye brows
Colored correctly
The artist even left
for people to come drink with the dolls
And candy
There are approximately 150 dolls
Right now on display
And I believe 35.. villagers
Although I've seen, 3 or 4 people so far
And honestly.. their were a few times
Where I wasn't sure if they were a doll or they were a real person
You kind of get mixed up here
Another cool thing to note is
Is that the artist
Put people doing what they loved to do when they lived here
So clearly..this looks like a dad who enjoyed I think fishing
And his daughter with him
We found the artist Ayano Tsukimi working in the town
She was happy to chat with us..
The hands are cotton
The insides are newspaper
And what about the face?
Cotton
Which doll is her favorite?
In her house
Her mother..
Okay
Okay
Now we're coming across some of the dolls that are actually at work
Doing whatever their occupation was when they lived here
This is somebody carting people around
And then we have people working in the fields over here
She's just chilling there
Look at the details on this mustache
That's a nice mustache
It's better than yours
That's a better mustache than I could grow for sure
The artist Ayano Tsukimi, we just interviewed her
Now she's inviting us.. into her house
This is completely unplanned
I love this house, it's so comfy
I think these are the most intricate ones yet
They've got kimono's on
It's a wedding guys
We've got a wedding
Going on here
This right here is the artist's favorite doll
It's actually her mom
And this is honoring her
This is the artist herself
And believe it or not
This is not Donald Trump
This is an American comedian who lives in Japan
That's why he has the U.S tie
But he looks a lot like Donald Trump
That was my first impression to
This guy has a cellphone
And even like a true cell phone user
He's cracked it a few times
That is perfect
It's very unique
It can be a little bit scary
But it's super cool
And if you get to know the lady
That made everything
It's super nice
She's really nice
Even when she doesn't speak English
She's willing to explain to people
How she made them
And..you get to see little details
These details tell you.. how much work she put into every piece
That you see here
So it's really nice
Alright Members of the Barrio
We are concluding the video next to my favorite
Doll, right here
If you want to come to this village
I'm going to put some details..down below
With the address
Give or take
If you are in the Iya Valley
I highly recommend.. coming here
And I would not say that the intention of this place is to scare people
It's not really creepy
The artist is just trying to honor residents who either past away
Or moved
And she's doing it.. in I think a very respectful manner
Putting them in their clothing
In places where they used to hang out
Where they used to work
It's something very unique
And it's something I really think you should try to see
If you get a chance
