Archer Karakuri Mechanical Doll / Automaton. Tokyo: Gakken, ca. 2004. Recreation of an automaton designed during the Edo period (1603–1867). The wind-up doll pulls an arrow out of the fan, pulls back the bow, aims, and fires at a target. A second, smaller figure concealed in the base below the figure appears to motivate the action by cranking a wheel. Complete with original wooden carrying case (12 ½ x 9 ¼ x 7") and booklet. As new.
