The Haniwa Terracotta Dancers (埴輪 踊る人々, haniwa odoru hitobito, haniwa dancing people) are a pair of human-shaped terracotta burial figures - haniwa - one smaller than the other, in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum. Their gestures with their arms have led them to be given the epithet of 'Dancers'.[1]
