Copper doll (jap.: dô ningyô), 1669, Japan, now in the Museum für Völkerkunde Hamburg

According to an inscription under the left foot, this copper model was made in 1669 after an idea of Iwamura (?) Gensai. It seems to have belonged to the personal physician of the daimyou of Kii-Wakayama. The organs are shown in a European naturalistic manner, not as energy-centers of organ-circles in the Asiatic manner. Yet, on the skin, acupuncture points are indicated in three colors.
