These acrobat dolls can do flips thanks to the weight of mercury moving around inside. These are zashiki (“chamber”) karakuri dolls, made to be enjoyed indoors. Such dolls used advanced technology such as mercury, sand, and spring mechanisms. Both zashiki karakuri and the larger karakuri used on festival floats were popular during the Edo period (1615–1868).
