Japanese Eccentric DJ Creates Wallet Shaped Like Human Mouth... Jaw-Dropping

Finger-shaped stamps and USB production
"Bizarre"... "Unethical" criticism also raised

A Japanese DJ has sparked controversy by creating and revealing accessories modeled after human body parts. The finished products are so similar to actual human body parts that they have been described as 'bizarre' and criticized as 'unethical.'


According to Reuters and other sources on the 10th (local time), DJ Masataka Shishido, who works under the stage name 'Doooo,' is producing accessories modeled after parts of the body.


These include a wallet shaped like a mouth, a stamp or USB shaped like a finger, and a pendant shaped like an eye.

Although these were not originally made for sale, recently there have been many custom order inquiries, mainly from fans.


The finger-shaped USB costs around 150,000 yen (approximately 1.45 million KRW), and the eye pendant is about 580,000 yen (approximately 5.6 million KRW). It is said that he has created more than 30 different designs so far.


It is also known that he plans to hold an art exhibition featuring these products.


This is not the first time he has created items expressing human body parts. In February, he also revealed a finger-shaped stamp.

However, the debate arises not just because the shapes are modeled, but because they look exactly the same.


The mouth must open to insert coins, the eye-shaped pendant actually blinks, and the skin looks like real human skin, leading to evaluations of the items as 'bizarre.'


There are also ethical criticisms regarding whether it is acceptable to commercialize body shapes as products.
