also called yoroi ningyoo 鎧人形 or deko でこ head dolls.
The head of clay is stuck on a long bamboo pole, which is stuck through the armour.
The head may feature a famous samurai, like Kato Kiyomasa or Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Both armes are supported by a bamboo stick and can be moved around freely.
These dolls have been made offerings to the local shrines to pray for the healthy upbringing of a baby boy.
Nowadays they are a favorite souvenir.
