This book beautifully presents ingeniously designed moving toys crafted from readily available, inexpensive materials like paper and wood. It is packed with toys from the five continents and Japan's precious regional karakuri folk toys. This book does not feature expensive, complex automatons like tea-serving dolls. The author cherishes the simple, clever toys made from inexpensive materials and straightforward mechanisms—the kind encountered by children in postwar Japan. They are incredibly fun to pick up and play with. Karakuri toys, born in an era before concepts like intellectual property existed, can be found worldwide. Many can be made by hand, so we encourage you to try crafting them yourself. 【Payment】 Please pay within 3 days after your purchase. 【Shipping】 Japan Post DHL Fedex Economy Shipping:No tracking Standard Shipping: With tracking 【Returns】 We accept returns within 30 days of purchase. ＜Return conditions＞ -Request for return within 30 days of purchase. -Return costs are borne by the Seller. -Please inquire before application. 【International Buyers – Please Note:】 Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
