Japanese old toys called "Kyodo gangu" are made of clay, paper and wood. The common people get these materials easily in their neighborhood. People wish that good health and security of child, good harvest and good catch. The purpose of this study is to ponder what the element being sympathy everywhere is, and how the element effected design of "Kyodo gangu". When I compared the clay doll and the paper doll with the wooden toys, I found the material have been related with the motif of toys. It causes local color which we impress in common to Japanese old toys.
