10,000 Manko-chan Project

10,000 Manko-chan Project. A Manko is a Human Face. Let's Make 10,000 Faces. One Exhibition.

What is this project?

I wanted to make 10,000 Manko-chans.

But if I made them all by myself, it would take more than 50 years.

So I decided to ask the world for help.

Each Manko-chan contains an NFC tag.

Tap it with a smartphone to discover the maker's face and story.

Just as every face is different, every Manko is different too.

My goal is to bring together and exhibit 10,000 Manko-chans made by 10,000 people.

Let's create the exhibition together!

Note: "Manko" is a Japanese slang term for female genitalia.

A Manko is a Human Face. Manko is a Japanese slang word for female genitals. It may seem shocking at first. But like any face, it becomes familiar. This project turns a taboo into a portrait of humanity.
Let's Make 10,000 Faces with Manko-chan faces.
The Goal: gather 10,000 Manko-chans, one face from each participant, a Manko is a Human Face.
