Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 ''{{wp|shakōkidogū}}'' - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the {{wp|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history. It also seems to look like the Arahabaki, an ancient Japanese god that was worshipped by the Momunofu before the emergence of the Shinto pantheon. The idol was also worshipped by Nagasunehiko, a rebel who was the enemy of the {{wp|Emperor Jimmu}}, so he decreed that the Arahabaki was a heretical idol associated with treason. Ironically, Arahabki can now be found commonly in inns all over Japan. | Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 ''{{wp|shakōkidogū}}'' - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the {{wp|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history.
