Siin kohal tooks välja neist kaks – Daruma ja Kokeshi nukud. Daruma nukud on kerakujulised nukud, mis on värvitud punaseks ja valgeks, mis esindavad Zen’i asutajat Bodhidharma’t. Arvatakse, et Daruma nukud toovad õnne. Kokeshi 5 nukud on lihtsad puust mänguasjad. Neil on silindriline keha ja need kujutavad väikeseid tüdrukuid.

78 TRICKSTER M G M ' s ubiquitous dog Droopy, who always outwits the befuddled W o l f M i c k e y Mouse started as an ideal animal Trickster, although he has matured into a sober master of ceremonies and corporate spokesman. Native Americans have a particular fondness for Tricksters such as Coyote and Raven. T h e clown Kachina gods of the Southwest are Tricksters of great power as well as comic ability. Once in a while it's fun to turn the tables and show that Tricksters themselves can be outwitted. Sometimes a Trickster like the Hare will try to take advantage of a weaker, slower animal like Mr. Tortoise. In folktales and fables such as " T h e Tortoise and the Hare," the slowest outwits the fastest by dogged persistence or by cooperating with others of its kind to outwit the faster animal.
