“I thought I had no other choice but to throw it away because it was worn out,” Cato, 24, told AFP. But I learned that there is a clinic that deals with this kind of issue. ” She added, “It may not be the same again as it used to be.” But I came here hoping to see her better again ». The clinic’s founder, Natsumi Hakuzaki, said it provides treatments ranging from “eye surgery” to hair transplantation and suturing.
This young woman began processing stuffed toys four years ago, in her hometown north of Sendai, after she worked in a dress-making store; Clients would often ask if she could fix their beloved toys.
“These people see stuffed toys as family members, partners or close friends, and not just objects,” Hakuzaki said. After fixing their stuffed toys, many of them hugged her or started crying. ” That experience inspired her to open a venue that offered special treatment. For the ewe-shaped stuffed toy “Yuki-chan”, Hakuzaki began the treatment by removing the filling, then washing it with a special soap, describing the process as a “spa” treatment.
The clinic carefully documents each stage of treatment, and publishes pictures on the Internet so that owners can follow the treatment closely.
Realizing how people can become attached to their stuffed animals, Hakuzaki considers it essential to treat toys as if they were alive.
