[Nara single-chisel carving doll]
After originating from a children's toy, its carving gradually became bolder & bolder as it was used as an offering to Kasuga-Taisha Shrine. It is said it's boldly carved without minor decoration in order to show plain truth without shabby tricks.
Thanks to Toen Morikawa, a prominent carver from the Edo Period who added artistic delicacy to the doll, the doll became very popular in Nara as a symbol of power.
