Mimizuku dogu were made mainly in the Kanto region from the late to the latest Jomon period. Its name comes from its face resembling a mimizuku (horned owl). The face of this dogu is fringed by a heart, with the round eyes and mouth represented by thin pasted clay discs. There are also clay discs pasted onto the large ears. These portray oversized earrings inserted into holes in the ear lobes. The large folds on the head represent a tied-up hair. In this way, dogu figurines help us to envisage what fashions and hairstyles were popular back then.
