    The ability to use metal and making articulated animals have been born out of Japanese metalwork tradition. Japanese sword smiths and armor craftsmen had lost their jobs after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 when the Samurai class was abolished. Using their highly renowned metalwork skills, these craftsmen began making articulated metal sculptures such as crabs, crayfish, dragons and insects and their uncanny resemblance to the counterparts in nature and in myth had attracted many collectors.
