Windup doll by the water wheel

There are two kinds of trick dolls by the water wheel in Kagoshima. This doll is called "Suisya-Karakuri" in Japanese. Those dolls are performed in a summer festival "Rokugatsudou." Unlike the doll at Takeda shrine, the doll at Toyotamahime shrine in Chiran-cho similar to the Joruri doll moves variously.
