Summary of An Aging Japanese Village Put Life-Sized Dolls Everywhere to Feel More Alive

The source article: The village of Ichinono, with a population of less than 60, mostly elderly residents, has used life-sized dolls to revitalize the town. The dolls were created by residents, including 88-year-old Hisayo Yamazaki, to make the town feel more vibrant. Japan's population is declining, with a high percentage of people over 65, and the government has offered incentives to move to less populated areas. The village has seen a rare birth, a 2-year-old named Kuranosuke, and hopes to attract more young families.
