This item is a educational construction kit assembled from various materials (plastic, metal, etc.). Cement is required, but no painting is necessary.
This beautiful little karakuri doll was originally designed and built by Tanaka Hisashige in the late Edo period. Karakuri is a word that refers to the mechanisms that work a machine. This doll actually pulls an arrow out of the fan beside him, puts it to his bow, aims, and fires at a target! Some assembly is required; it's assumed you'll want to access the mechanisms to adjust them as desired. Comes with a wooden Presentation Box (for keeping the model safe and clean)!
