Funny story: when I visited Japan and went to the Tokyo National musem [0] specifically to see the Jomon figurine [1] which, during my childhood, I remember reading about in the context of "ancient astronauts" in the Soviet pop sci.
When I came out of the museum, I saw a man with a face that looked nearly identical! The guy had the same slit eyes and the kind of puffy bags around them. Too bad I did not ask him for permission to take a picture :-)
