Are Japanese dogu figurines!? An Illustrated guide to look closely at clay figures and learn about them.

Does the goggle-eyed figure (shakoki-dogu) resemble a taro? And the heart-shaped figure a Japanese walnut? Is the Yamagata figure shaped as a clam!? By comparing the shape of each object, this illustrated book offers a visual explanation of the surprising new theory that the shape of clay figures is based on staple food of the Jomon people.
