These dolls were first developed in in Japan during the Edo period, 1615-1868, and are colored primarily red. This color was chosen due to the folklore that the smallpox god enjoyed it.

Yuga is an artist who already exhibited his work here one year ago. He’s always surprising and capable of amazing us by using unexpected ways of expression, mostly because it gives us a very peculiar look about Portugal. He’s Japanese and when he looks into our coffee shop’s culture, he sees the same thing as the pub’s culture in England.
