--- Quote ---Kuidaore Taro: In front of Cui-daore is the mechanical drum-playing clown, also known as Kuidaore Ningyo. He was installed in 1950, and instantly became a popular tourist attraction, even now swarmed by crowds of tourists patiently waiting their turn to snap a memento.
A popular sight is Dōtonbori in March, when the visiting rikishi for the Osaka Grand Sumo tournament line up with Kuidaore Taro for photos.
