The most famous Japanese "Karakuri" automata that have made 200 years ago.

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.

Imagine if he only used it to shoot little arrows at his coworkers and that is literally all its purpose.

[@LeslieMarcoccio]

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!

[@fishtales2597]

Amazing, what a brainy bloke to have made that. And unlike some products of today - 200 years later and it still works brilliant.

haha, indeed.

[@getsufuma2597]

Imagine the intelligence, skill, and patience that went into creating this...

[@rstarr14]

I love this so much. I would love if these became popular again. People are starting to get bored with technology, and would flock to new versions of these.

[@EmpireTVDragon]

The morden day robots are similar to those

[@evanboyer5928]

they also designed karakuri to serve tea to guests.

[@kenichitanaka7420]

No wonder why Japanese technology has overwhelmed the whole world.

[@dopemcee]

damn..the japanese where doing this 200 years ago. some parts of the world dont even know enough to do this today.

Sadly true

[@namedyukinne4398]

Clocksmithing died out which is part of craftsmanship.. so now all we have left is the others like carpenter, painter, ect

[@n0denz]

Look up the Swiss engineer Henri Maillardet and his automaton, "The Draughtsman". It could not only draw pictures but be programmed on what to draw.

[@laughingachilles]

To anyone who loves mechanical things this would be an incredible piece if someone created it today. When you take into consideration it's age; it is quite extraordinary.

[@MLFreese]

I see that it pushes the bow forward when firing. I remember seeing a KZbin video about how pushing the bow forward for extra velocity was actually a common practice among bowmen around the world in the Medieval era.

[@Spoif]

Wow. That's absolutely beautiful.

[@mildredchester]

I think a creation like this must have some sort of spirit, at least that's what I imagine.

Now I get the difference. The karakuri bowman sounds like a bunch of bicycle chains while the writer automata by Jaquet Droz sounds like a goddamn printer.

[@KyoChan19792002]

Oh my God! The manga Karakuri Circus is actually based on this historical fact!!! Impressive!!! Kudos to Japanese culture! o.o

[@theinternetstolemysoulbuti2740]

+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)
