In Japan exits a considerable community of porcelain/bisqué doll artist, and a lot of people collect their dolls. I do not mean the classic Hina dolls and the like, but actual bjd dolls made from porcelain/bisqué that look very western and modern. In Japan, bjd made of different kind of clay are way older than the super dollfies made by Volks (I mean, Simon Yotsuya started making bjds in 1965).
Unfortunately many of the bjd artists that work with clay show their work in small art exhibitions, or sell the dolls trough dedicated art galleries, so their dolls aren't easily available to buy.
