thumb|Dogū, Ebisuda site in Tajiri, Miyagi|Tajiri, [[Miyagi Prefecture, 1000–400 BC.]]
are small humanoid and animal figurines made during the later part of the Jōmon period (14,000–400 BC) of prehistoric Japan. Dogū come exclusively from the Jōmon period, and were no longer made by the following Yayoi period. There are various styles of dogū, depending on the exhumation area and time period.
