I was going though my Japan trip photos and came across a display at the Karakuri Museum in Nagoya. These show the process of designing and constructing an archer karakuri as done by the current master of karakuri, Shobei Tamaya IX, The only disappointing thing to note is that I failed to get a clear photo of the center of the display that showed the cams in detail! Oh Man!
And finally here is a shot of a classic example of Karakuri at it's height. This wonderful piece is in the Toyota Museum of Industry collection in Nagoya.
