Many Years Ago Back In The 1950s

there were a number of automata displays on Brighton pier, 


you put one penny in and watched all manner of scenes unfold, in a slightly different vein these automata are cranked by hand,

Japanese woodworker Kazuaki Harada has spent the last few years designing these automata, 

for this one the timing must be perfect!

if you watch the videos remember to turn up the sound,

if you want to see more of these moving sculptures have a look at his Instagram and YouTube pages, as an aside I wonder what happened to all of those automata displays that were on Brighton pier?
