The collection captures more than just a simple collection of figures. Each miniature possesses an expressive bubble cloaking Hirono’s imaginative and moody color palette. Patterns and intricacies perfectly complement the hollowed shells in the figures and make one feel the need to read between the lines to add to the sentiment the figures embody.

Each piece in the Other One Series combines Hirono’s adorable artistry with a touch of dark whimsy. The tiny empty dolls of whispering closure reflected in bold silence gentle perseverance and soft isolation as closed eyelids and delicate hand folds and limbs have an otherworldly calmness. Figures with a prolonged posture belong to the unfinished cluster of an idea. And when immersed in the thin silence of lively conversation they instantly capture the observer’s spirit with a sense of purpose and concentration. Each figure doubles as both a standalone collectible and a present. The joy of the unboxing experience being coupled with emotionally charged contents makes each figure full of delight.
