Japanese Doll Garbage

Probably the most interesting items I've seen thrown out - traditional Japanese Dolls. Would not want to bump into these when throwing garbage out at night. Would be a different matter if they were expensive Dollfies though.
Whats the strangest thing you've seen thrown out?
If any of you answer with things like "working TVs" then that be normal over here > electronics are thrown out over here every day...

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

That's true, and its unborn and children that suffer because of their parent's unawareness.

You can't make abortion in Philippines? Or is it too expensive for them or something?
College Student
Our moral views, government, and church don't allow us to have an abortion. Abortion still happens thou, but illegal.

As for weirdest garbage...hmm, havent really seen any odd ones, though I do have seen dolls (similar to the ones in the photo) in the bins too.

I'd probably pick up the bag and take it home with me xD;; I tend to stay away from horror type stories so I wouldn't be bothered about them at night :3
Unemployed bummer
hehe, just because you stay away doesn't mean they'll do the same no? =P

I saw tons of lovely furniture thrown out... wish someone had taken them home.

Is it illegal to take things from other people's trash in Japan? I would probably be daring and swipe them to at least see what's wrong with them, considering they aren't covered in filth.

Most of the strange things thrown out around here get picked up immidiately by homeless people.
Buuut...recently i've seened our neighbors throw out their Christmas tree a few days before Christmas. It must be a religious thing where they celebrate it a few days earlier but i wouldn't know.

isn't that a really BAD idea to throw away those kinds of dolls in those fashion? I mean, you have to believe in the super natural, but seriously, I would not do that....

I don't think I'd have the guts to throw those things away. They look like they would curse you or something O__o
???Confused???
Those look like something that could come back and haunt you...

I can't remember ever seeing anything really weird being thrown away. But then again I don't consider dolls as a weird thing to throw away.

Imagine if they were all line up at night and there was a green light shinning under it.

Apartment complexes are great places to find some odd and nice stuff. People move out after living there for a year and just can't take it all with them. A friend of mine scored a really nice stainless steel trash can (one of those simplehuman ones) and another got a nice dresser mirror. I can't say I've seen anything particularly strange in a dumpster though...

I have never been dumpster diving, I may rethink doing so if there are treasures like these to be found.

Ah, those Japanese dolls. My brother is absolutely terrified of them, so much so that before I came over here, he said to not send any of those home. Till this day, the only traditional Japanese dolls I sent were the Sarubobo Dolls of Takayama/Shirakawago and Kokeshi Dolls. Oddly enough, the faceless Sarubobo Dolls still scare my family even though they don't look like real people at all.

Half a car - it was sawn (literally) down the middle and was tagged as rubbish by the owners - i wonder what the rubbish collectors thought when they saw that - I think the local council has some sort of way to deal with that kind of 'garbage'

The strangest thing I've seen thrown out was a computer in the form of a cute girl. I ended up taking her home and... wait a second.

Lol, if people don't want something like that anymore over here, it's much more common to give it away to a second hand store or charity, or put it in front of your house and put a sign on it indicating it is free to take (or put a price on it, if it's good, people will usually knock on your door to pay).

Definitely wouldn't want to bump into any dolls at night... still have a bad impression of them.
Strangest thing that I saw got thrown out? I don't have much experience with this, I stay at home most of the time :(.

Oddest thing? A single car seat. No car, no reason for it to be tossed, but a single, undamaged, nicely upholstered car seat. Well, tied with the "Trojan" shipping crate, complete with packing label, at someone's house. No, I did not look inside, I was driving at the time.

Those traditional Japanese dolls looks scary. I have no experience of any weird thing got thrown out here.

I used to work as a repair man in an apartment and town home complex in Ann Arbor Michigan, many of the residents there were Japanese and South Korean working and attending the University of Michigan on a 4 year visa. It would be common to see various manga as well as other sorts of Japanese zines that were thick like the grapes of wrath.
When ever a resident from either country would have to move back home due to visa restrictions if they had no intention of returning then often I would find that they would sell what they could and the rest would go to the garbage collection bin. Often there would be kids furniture along with cheap broken couches and chairs though on occasion I would come across some nice items in good to great condition that I would take down to a local charity.
The strangest thing that really inst strange but is strange where I found it was a complete three piece suit with leather shoes and overcoat plus silver cuff links and tie tack that were wrapped up in tissue paper and taped and sealed up in 6 plastic trash bags hidden underneath several large juniper bushes.
