Karakuri from Matthew Allard on Vimeo.

Japan has always been on the forefront of cutting edge robotics. Its roots can be traced back 200-300 years during the Edo period when skilled craftsmen created automata (self-operating machines). Using nothing more than pulleys and weights they were able to make the Karakuri (Japanese automata) perform amazing tasks.
Japans modern day robots can be traced back to the Karakuri. Today Hideki Higashino is one of the few remaining craftsmen who is determined to keep the history and tradition of Japanese Karakuri alive.

You see these in a lot of Japanese gardens, often used as garden walls. I have no idea what they are called! (let me know if you do)

Information Please
The Information kiosk at the Tokyo International Forum. The building itself is amazing so I had to selectively focus on the kiosk to make it stand out from the rest of the building.
