C with the discovery of Japanese paper dolls as an evidence. Back then, they were some ritual items probably meant for prayers and not for children to play with. Originally, they were designed in a three dimensional doll not the wrong mentality that they were made of flat pieces of paper. The paper dolls were produced to lure girls and young women but when the Barbie was introduced, it overwhelmed the popularity of the paper dolls. However the Barbie would not have invented without the idea of paper dolls.
