Japanese Dolls made from the skin of dead corpses!

These eerie looking Japanese Dolls are said to be made from the hair and skin of the deceased, which I believe is probably an urban legend. But they still give me the creeps!
Update: These dolls are not made from the skin of dead corpses. they are just very realistic dolls. The artist who created them is Yoshiko Hori, one of the most famous japanese woman sculptor.
More eerie dolls after the jump.
