The following is from the Otona no Kagaku (Adult Science) website: The "Yumihiki Doji" (Arrow-Pulling Boy) is one of the works of Tanaka Hisashige, also known as "Karakuri Giemon," a representative scientist and engineer of the late Edo period. It is a karakuri ningyo (mechanical doll) that repeatedly performs the sophisticated actions of taking an arrow from a quiver, nocking it on a bow, and shooting at a target. This kit reproduces as much as possible the mechanisms and movements of the real thing, within a range that can be assembled by the general public. This is a reproduction of a masterpiece by Tanaka Hisashige, a representative scientist and engineer of the late Edo period. Supervised and with the cooperation of the ninth generation Tamaya Shobei, a karakuri doll maker. The series of movements are expressed only by a combination of a mainspring, gears, and cams. The "completed product" has the main body pre-assembled, but requires adjustment of the clothing and strings.
