This battery-operated tin robot is a masterful creation designed by
Rikizo Miyazawa and manufactured by Yonezawa in Japan in the 1950s.
T. Kitihara, in his book Robots: Tin Toy Dreams, says: "When set in motion,
the robot walks forward while throwing off sparks; it stops to breathe out
smoke and flash its eyes before walking forward again. The unsophisticated
design adds to its robot image, while the facial expression has a
human quality."
