Etsuko Kashiwagi, 47, has 16 of them. She buys the dolls clothing and toys, and she and her husband take them on trips, posting on their website pictures of the dolls at the Eiffel Tower and Mount Fuji. "We're not crazy people," she insists. With their son in college, "we just find comfort in these dolls, as others might in their pets."

It was the last thing the Chinese...
...cafes, stoically sipping espresso in the white, noon sun. Everything in me wanted to take action, hoard bottled water, build underground shelters. But only the slightest adjustments were made: wine and candles were taken outside to the Champ de Mars, and family dinners were held beneath the Eiffel Tower. Knowing how to live apparently means knowing that nothing will last and everything has happened before.
