  • The "Karakuri" automata is the traditional handcraft of Edo period(1603-1868). Their movements are caused by the power of springs. Japan boasts to the world the ultimate reproduction of "Karakuri" automata. The "Karakuri" automata that bend arrow has been achieved by Hisasige Tanaka, the first president of Toshiba.

    I am completely and totally fascinated by the genius behind this! The fact that it has survived 200 years and is still in perfect working condition just goes to show how the first president of Toshiba is credited for building the ultimate in Karakuri automata. I still cannot get over the way it selects and shoots arrows with such precision. Cams and strings... Wow! Just priceless!

      +Kyo Chan Japanese weren't the first to create automatons, and in all honesty those automatons weren't anything special when compared to their European counterparts from that time. In fact these creations look like they're based off the designs of Jacques de Vaucanson who is credited with making the first definitive automatons. If you're going to give kudos to somebody, give it to the guy / his country that made the concept possible. (In this case, France)
