Shibuya's Parco department store offers interesting, frequently rotating exhibits in their basement level Logos Gallery. I went seeking an exhibit on vintage film posters, but got my dates mixed up and arrived a couple days too late. Instead, I found this Momoko Doll lingerie exhibit.
Momoko Dolls are a modern creation - they've been around since 2001. They are fashion-oriented like Barbie, and the consumer can purchase a wide array of outfits ranging from demure to sexy to rebellious. This particular exhibit was mostly about elaborately designed lingerie and sleepwear for Momoko.
The life-size mannequins had a Twilight Zone feel to them and were slightly creepy, but they weren't nearly as disturbing as the male customers rifling through the lacy Momoko-size undergarments and ogling her in garters.
