# Revealing Nesting Dolls Mato Ryoko Matryoshka Doll Hides a Scantily Clad Figurine By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-04-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nesting-doll References: [spoon-tamago](http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2015/04/15/mato-ryoko-matryoshka-nesting-doll-hides-a-bikini-girl/) Drawing inspiration from traditional, Russian figurines, this unexpected nesting doll is surprisingly racy. The artistic toy is designed by artist Mato Ryoko and references iconic matryoshka dolls in a way that is contemporary and visually bold. Featuring a traditional baboushka top and a daring bikini bottom, this unique nesting doll opens to reveal a curvy and swimsuit-clad woman. The doll dons a red bikini and appears more daring than most other matryoshka nesting doll figurines who are dressed in cultural garb. Designed as part of Mato Ryoko's self-titled exhibition at the [Milano Salone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kish-o-mat), this art piece challenges tradition and will appeal to [collectors of Russian nesting dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momiji-x-tomy).
