Hello from a black ink early morning in Tokyo !
Perhaps you can try the Nanasai Co. in Kyoto Japan.
They have made super mannequins for many top fasion designers like Miyake
Issey, Yamamoto Kenzo, etc. and for the FIT Museum in New York and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Their address: 8-2, Ikejiri-cho, Yamanouchi, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 615-0072
Website (only in Japanese): http://www.nanasai.co.jp/
Good luck and stay-tuned to YOUR Museum-L !
