Shibahara tsuchi ningyoo 芝原土人形 Shibahara clay dolls
Shibahara ningyoo 芝原人形 Shibahara dolls
They are made like Imado clay dolls 今戸人形 since the late Edo period by Tanaka Kinzoo 田中錦（金）造. He was a scholar of Confucian learning and made these dolls in the time when farmers were not busy. Many figures were made with the technique of making roof tiles.
Inside is a small clay ball that makes a sound when the dolls are shaken.
The Tanaka family :
田中錦造 Kinzo （初代）－春吾 ?Harugoro（二代目 錦造の長男）－謙治 Kenji（三代目 錦造の次男）
In 1916 Kenji separated and started his own business. In 1955 he became an important cultural master of Chiba prefecture. He had no follower so the line ended with him.
But later the clan decided to carry on and 千葉惣次 became the fourth doll maker.
There are now about 130 different motives, 70 of them made by Kinzo. 45 are from the Imado motives.
They are painted with light colors like the original Imado dolls. Most have some red around the eyes.

In Kabuki, this is a combination of a snake, which eats a toad, which eats a slug, whose slime is poisonous to the snake. It represents the circle of deaths by disliking.
