In 2008 a huge earthquake struck the Tohoku region of Japan. When
Shimanuki, a company that sells kokeshi dolls, discovered that the quake had toppled almost all of their craft work they put this information to good use. They embedded the Akari Kokeshi with an LED flashlight that activates only when the doll is toppled over. When the power is knocked out by an earthquake the toppled dolls provide much-needed light.
