THE ALLURE
OF THE FAKE : MANNEQUIN MEMORIAL DAY
According to the japanese calendar of ephimery events “Metropolis”, the celebration of when mannequins where used for the first time in this country is celebrated on March 24th. The connotation of the word “mannequin” has a very coherent meaning in Japanese, sounding like mane (calling) and kin (money). The tridimensional figures are known as very efficient sales person who work 24 hours a day.
MANGA-ESQUE MANNEQUINS
Japanese have Mannequins partly because they are animistic, or ego invested in their bodies. Other ways of having mannequins that are acceptably non-human is to have headless mannequins or, recently, the manga-esque mannequins like those above. I think that one of the reasons why Western mannequins are now less popular is due to the fact that with increasing numbers of westerners living in Japan, such manequinns, and indeed foreigners themselves, have started to look human.
