    In the Japanese village of Nagoro, where the youngest person is 55 years old, life-sized dolls outnumber living residents 10 to one. This 69-year-old woman has been making these dolls since 2003 as a way to liven up her empty village.

    This is Art. (Art with a sad theme)
    She has been working for more than 15yrs to make these dolls. Artists & craftmen are always alone.

      Waking up in the morning is an achievement, pulling off a fake smile despite being sad is an achievement, working 8-12 hours for your family is an achievement. There is something artsy about living the city life , and if i would try to say it in your narration, city life could be considered as an art with a sad theme.

    So sad to see the decline. She must have had lovely memories of her time as a kid. Now it isn't being emulated.
    In my opinion, the biggest challenge the world faces is over-population. This creates huge stress on earth and accelerates global warming. Whilst it's so sad to see this happening in Japan, it's equally worrying to see uncontrolled population explosion on other countries.

    It's a dying community struggling to fight the loneliness feeling of left behind by their young people. They're on the edge of being a ghost town, so it's a sad truth.
    It also happen everywhere in the world. Young people leaving to find works in big cities. Nowadays, only very few young people want to stay in the village and become farmers.
