Karakuri Somersault Doll

Employing a centuries-old secret techniqueย from the Edo period, this kit has everything needed to create an acrobatic doll, plus a festive kimono andย a tiered pedestal on which to perform. You can even adjust the velocity of the dollโ€™s action. The instructions are in Japanese with beautiful illustrationsย that make it easy to put together.

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
