The Automaton's original name in Japanese, ''karakuri hei'', is a reference to karakuri puppets, a type of traditional mechanized puppet or automata that was made in Japan from the 17th to the 19th century. Some were small and used as home decorations that could serve tea or sake, but they were also life-sized karakuri puppets that were used for public theater performances or religious festivals. | The Automaton's original name in Japanese, ''karakuri hei'', is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakuri_puppet karakuri puppets], a type of traditional mechanized puppet or automata that was made in Japan from the 17th to the 19th century.
