Kakashi and girl

A girl peeks around a post at a kakashi (scarecrow doll) crossing guard, while several more kakashi sit on bench in the background. The school closed several years ago as the village became depopulated, and the school is now also populated by kakashi. Nagoro Doll Village, Iya Valley, Japan.

    Great interaction between the girl and the 'ghost'. Because that is how I'm coming to view these dolls. The town seems on its way to becoming a ghost town.

    This is so cute! Seems like someone is missing out on a major tourist opportunity. This village is so unique!

    Peek-a-boo -:)? From your photos, the dolls do seem to beckon people to interact with them, but this one looks like he's either freezing cold, slightly perturbed (or both) and would prefer not to be bothered. These dolls are also great story-provokers! I see more of them in the background - perhaps the ones that you posted a photo of yesterday.

    Busy morning/afternoon - late post, but my "Daily Photo" is here:
