These are little clay dolls or pottery dolls in the form of dolls or legendary figures. There is quite a large repertoir of these dolls.
They are given to children as a talisman for good health.
They have a little mouthpiece at the back and make a simple sound
boo, boo, boo . . .
There are also flutes of this kind with animals, especially the 12 zodiac animals. The most famous is the

Shitakawara yaki Tsuchiningyoo 下川原焼土人形
clay dolls from Shitakawara village
in Aomori, Hirosaki 弘前 town.
quote
These dolls appeared in 1810, when Tsugaru Yasuchika, the 9th lord of the Hirosaki domain, invited a potter Takaya Kinzo from the Chikuzen region of Kyushu. A kiln was then prepared for him at Shitakawara, where he produced daily necessities. As it snowed heavily in winter, potters could not make pottery during this time. Then Kinzo created earthenware dolls when he had no work to do, hence the beginning of the earthenware dolls in Shitakawara.
In the making of this doll, red earth and sand are mixed together to form clay, which is put into a plaster to shape the doll. It is then fired at high temperature for several hours, and then painted to create the finished design. Shitakawara dolls features
three colors of yellow, purple and red, which are applied on the pure white base color.
The pigeon whistles and the dolls of zodiac figurines, warriors and Manekineko (Lucky Cats) are famous. All are made in the traditional hand-making techniques that have been handed down for a long time.

evening smoke--

evening smoke covers
a hunter hand-whistling
low cooing sounds
Tr. Chris Drake
This grimly humorous hokku is from the 24th of the 9th month (Nov. 1) in 1809, when Issa was traveling around to see poets living near his hometown. The note in the first volume of Issa's complete works (p. 513) and numerous Japanese dictionaries and works on haikai point out that hato-fuku means to cup your palms together and blow into the small opening between your thumbs so as to make sounds that resemble the cooing of doves and pigeons.
Traditionally mountain people in Japan practiced hand-whistling to help them communicate, and hunters used hand-whistling not only to fool doves and other birds but also, more commonly, to signal each other in complex ways while they were tracking deer and other animals. In this hokku some hunters seem to have been cooking supper or perhaps are keeping warm around a fire, but the wind shifts, and smoke from the fire blows over and envelops one hunter who is busy hand-whistling dove calls, perhaps sending a coded message to some comrades out in the dark. Inhaled smoke causes the hunter to make sounds very different from any sounds ever made by a dove. Issa presumably sees this as karmic justice.
There are some valuable hand-whistling tutorials on Youtube. It can be rather complex at the highest level and difficult to master. In Issa's time most children played instead with small painted clay flutes in the shape of pigeons/doves that made sounds resembling cooing, among other sounds. The sounds made by human hands and by clay instruments are different, however, and the two need to be clearly distinguished. Gabi has up some nice pictures of these clay toy flutes and charm flutes.
