Iki-ningyo (living dolls) are a style of hyper-realistic traditional Japanese doll made out of plaster, paper and wood. Furthermore, the eyes are made of inset glass, and the teeth are typically bone or ivory. Because they were targeted towards foreigners, the smaller iki-ningyo would tend to depict scenes unique to Japan such as a jin-rickshaw driver pulling a lady in a kimono (a style of traditional Japanese clothing), sumo wrestlers mid match, samurai warriors in full-clad armour, etc. This jin-rickshaw driver is wearing a style of woven straw sandals popular in the Edo period (1603-1868 CE), as well as a style of short winter coat typically worn by common people in the same period.
