Zodiac Sign Toys

We created various types of designs for the ox, which is next year’s Zodiac sign. The “beckoning ox” mimics the “beckoning cat” design to attract fortune and people. The “daruma ox” is an ox version of the auspicious daruma, and the “Seto-beko” figure prays for sound health. We have 15 good-luck ox items in total, including a deity riding atop an ox.

Good-luck Toy

The Fuji daruma represents a daruma keeping Mt. Fuji from erupting. It serves to ward off disasters. In addition, lion-dogs are used to pray for healthy growth for children, and the Seto lion-dog is a guardian deity that wards off misfortune and evil spirits. The rabbit and tortoise are imbued with a prayer for everyone to get along peacefully. These good-luck toys are embodiments of prayers for everyone’s fortune.

Good-luck Mask (With Board)

In Noh dramas, an elderly man or woman often appears on the stage as the incarnation of a god in plays that feature celebratory content. For this reason, these masks are often used decoratively to ward off evil spirits and misfortune. In addition, foxes appear in plays featuring good harvests as the incarnation of the god of fortune. The “kumadori” mask is a very auspicious mask used for roles representing bravery, justice, and strength.
