Karakuri puppet information



A karakuri automaton, c. 1800, British Museum

Karakuri puppets (からくり人形, karakuri ningyō) are traditional Japanese mechanized puppets or automata, made from the 17th century to the 19th century. The dolls' gestures provided a form of entertainment. The word karakuri has also come to mean "mechanisms" or "trick" in Japanese.[1] It is used to describe any device that evokes a sense of awe through concealment of its inner workings.[2]

The name karakuri is thought to come from the Japanese verb karakuru, which means "to pull, stretch, and move a thread".[3] It is alternatively written in kanji as 絡繰り, 絡繰, 機巧, 機関, and archaically as 唐繰.
