- Tea Serving
Looking at the old karakuri ningyo from Japan you can see the inspiration for today’s state of the art Japanese robotics.
- Karakuri from Inuyama near Nagoya
The karakuri ningyo is a mechanical or automated doll that was invented over two hundred years ago in Japan and used as a form of entertainment. Quite often the doll was used to serve tea.
The karakuri form of entertainment and service continues in this very innovative youtube clip. If you enjoy Ramen and robots … then this clip is for you. The karakuri doll delivers ramen with style!
Thanks to two great photographers Potarou and Tempusmaster for photos of karakuri ningyo.
The first time I saw a Karakuri Ningyo was in 1988 when the Japanese Government displayed one at an exhibit in Brisbane, Australia. I was not sure of the great significance of karakuri back then. But as time has passed, I have seen the enormous improvements in robotic technology and am amazed at the legacy of this mechanical doll.

That sure is a sleek and narrow looking train. When I first read a vibration device, I thought it was in the seats,lol^_^ How many more trains can they come up with, don’t they have enough? anyways, can I go for a ride along w/you? I promise to be good. HA-HA.
You didnt like him working out at the gym? …. I thought it was funny and cute but you might be right – “what?” it was certainly a subtle message
