Karakuri are marvelous.

Your skill is impressive, and your lighthearted design
is a pleasure to view.

I particularly like the dogs head that follows the swing through its arc.

What is traditional subject matter?
How might you bend the art form to say something unique?

I would suggest something like a hunting hound chasing a fox,
with the fox watching the hound circle below.

(That's the first thing that came to mind.)

あなたの仕事は美しいです

I thank you for looking at my work.
I am happy if you enjoyed.
"traditional subject matter, the art form "
I dont know yet to me. But it may be a new subject matter.
"like a hunting hound chasing a fox"
It is good idea. I think so, too.
Implementation is likely difficult, but I will study it.
それにしても、あなたは日本語がお上手ですね。

I love your creations as they are very imaginative and creative. +1 for a pleasure to view. Thanks for posting. You are a skillful and talented woodworker!

For new subject matter, I think a person with a pull toy playing with a cat would be fun. The cat's paw would be chasing the string or toy the person is pulling.

Thanks for looking my works.
That's right. It is needed improvement for method of Description.
So, this time,the without Description edition was provided.
Would you please look at also it.
However, I will continue improvement.
Advice relating to a pull toy is interesting.
I will consider it.

I am glad you enjoyed.
"a child at the zoo with different movements by the animals"
I think it is interesting, I will study it.

Wonderful work. Perhaps a girl on a tricycle would be a good subject, or a cat and mouse, or maybe a cart pulled by a dog, with a child in it.

Keep them coming, I enjoy them very much.

Great work!!!!
An old childhood nursery rhyme came to my mind.
Hey diddle diddle,
A cat and a fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon....

This might be a fun project as well..

Have fun Kiyoshi.
