In Tokyo’s old downtown district stands Orient Industry’s factory. From its unassuming exterior, one would never guess what’s produced within. Here, love dolls are crafted daily by hand.
From Liquid to Flesh
Most production stages rely on skilled artisans’ hands. The process begins with silicone casting: Viscous liquid silicone is poured into molds that shape the doll’s body. Prior to pouring, each mold contains:
Weight-reducing urethane cores
Articulated skeletons enabling lifelike poses (Proprietary structural details remain trade secrets)
The Finest Layer of Skin
Different molds accommodate varying heights and bust sizes (larger busts being more popular). The ultra-smooth silicone – specially formulated through years of R&D – is another trade secret. Next comes curing: Molds spend a night in specialized kilns where heat triggers chemical hardening, transforming liquid into velvety skin.
Demolding & Refinement The next day, cured bodies undergo demolding. Seam lines leave excess silicone (burrs), removed in meticulous flash trimming – a high-stakes process where mistakes cause tears or scars. Master artisans use specialized shears under intense concentration. Post-trimming, bodies receive surface refinement before painting.
Lifeblood in Pigment
Beyond obvious areas (breasts, knees, heels), subtle body makeup creates realism:
Natural shadows enhance contours
Silicone-based pigments airbrushed for water-resistant finish (Vein detailing available as option) The irreversible process demands precision—especially for nipples requiring layered coloring.
The Intimacy of Details Pubic hair implantation follows:
Central area: Pre-made patch
Perimeter: Single-strand hand implantation (hours per doll) (Realistic follicle visibility through silicone) Finally, careful haircutting sculpts the final look.
A Mother Adorning Her Daughter
Simultaneously, head production progresses through identical stages: casting, demolding, trimming. Faces – the soul of each doll—receive special attention:
Eyeballs embedded into sockets
Base makeup: Natural shadows and contours
Feature detailing: Eyes, brows, lips (4-day process per face, balancing features like fine art)
Departure Joined bodies and heads become complete dolls. Each is lovingly packed in custom boxes, ready to journey to their new homes.
