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. Very good, with all accessories, tools, and instruction booklet as issued.
