The oldest surviving Gosho dolls tend to depict the charms of toddler development, such as crawling, sitting, and clapping. Over time, these dolls grew more varied, perhaps holding auspicious items, forming tableaus, or even imitating figures from classical literature. This tableau of three dolls effectively uses a standing screen to evoke the childhood game.
