Is Alice in Wonderland particularly popular in Japan? Why?
1) She (the original) is 15 years old girl. ()
2) public domain so no lawyer issue to use popular work.
3) It have random weird imagery.

especially point 3 (with help of point 2) allow everyone to interpret the story in many different angle

and this also applied in west. so not just japan exclusive

thought by some reason creepy doll like Alice is popular. not sure where that come from
