The culture of making Kakashi (scarecrow dolls) originated in Nagoro village in the Iya Valley, an isolated village in the highlands of Shikoku Island, Japan, whose population was slowly shrinking as its residents left for big cities in search of work. The dolls are modelled on residents who died or abandoned the village years ago. Several Kakashi dolls can now be seen in the nearby town of Kamiyama, including this Kakashi doll couple sitting in a farmyard with flowers.
