Stone DollsThis crafted doll, resembling a man, is shaped from the nest of an water insect living in the fresh waters of the Nishiki River. This small insect builds its nest from small rocks and sand, which is solidified by excretions from its mouth. These dolls are said to be the images of victims who died in the construction of the Kintai Bridge. These dolls are sold as gifts in Kikko Park.
