Abstract
It is thought that Reuleaux mechanism models which Kyoto University imported from Germany in 1903 include most of the basic machine mechanisms used by modern machine industries. On the other hand, there were "KARAKURI" like a "tea serving doll" that could make complicated motions in the Japanese Edo era (1596-1868), and also some of them are common to the basic machine mechanisms used by modern machine industry. The machine mechanisms and elements included in the "KARAKURI" will be compiled into a database and compared with Reuleaux models.
