These are small Daruma and Tengu netsuke sculptures at the Tokyo National Museum. The Daruma netsuke was carved from ivory by Hoshu Yamagata, and the Tengu netsuke was also carved from ivory by Omu Yoshida. (For a definition of netsuke, see this post.)

A Daruma doll (or simply Daruma) is a hollow, round, traditional Japanese doll modeled after Bodhidharma, a semi-legendary Buddhist monk and founder of Zen Buddhism. Meanwhile, a Tengu (literally 'heavenly dog') is a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion.
These little Daruma and Tengu reminded me of a Japanese picture book entitled, Little Daruma and Little Tengu, a story about a little Daruma boy who wants to be just like his friend, a little Tengu boy. I read this book when I was little too, and it was lovely to remember it (look at the two little boys on the cover!). But it’s so sad that I still couldn't recall the story even after reading the plot online... 😂
If you are interested in another Japanese picture book for preschool kids, try The Little Old Lady in the Strawberry Patch (Ichigo Batake no Chiisana Obaasan).

東京国立博物館で見た根付、「達磨」と「烏天狗」です。「達磨」は山形芳朱作、「烏天狗」は吉田桜夢（幸楽）作。両方とも象牙です。
それで思い出したのが子供のころ読んだ「だるまちゃんとてんぐちゃん」😊 悲しいのはあらすじ読んでも話を思い出せない｡｡｡😂
