Ocha-ami Doll

An Ocha-ami Doll (おちゃあみい人形) is a tea-serving puppet in Hino Country.

Description
This mechanized puppet appears as a short woman dressed in a layered kimono.

Carrying a teacup and saucer, the puppet walks up to a guest and dispenses hot tea from its mouth into the cup. Once the guest takes the teacup and saucer, the puppet turns around and walks away.

Trivia

 * The doll's name and appearance strongly resemble Charmy Pappitson.
 * The doll is based on karakuri puppets, some of which were designed to carry cups of tea to a guest and carry back the empty cups.
