DIY Kit (Titled "Doomed") An animatedFish on a Cutting Board with Knife. Turn the Crank and the Fish
Paper automata are called karakuri in Japan and this DIY kit (titled "Doomed") produces an animated fish on a cutting board with knife. Turn the crank and the fish flops and tries to escape its sushi future. Very nice kit, if you're not a fish. Requires scissors, glue, a hobby knife, a couple of hours and a steady hand. The finished karakuri will be approx 2" tall x 7-1/4" x 4-1/2" with a 6" fish. Complete instructions. For adults and kids 10+.
