“Ittobori’s presence” allows you to feel the breath of the craftsman
Sasano Ittobori is a religious toy that has been passed down by farmers living in the Sasano district of Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture for over a thousand years.
Each piece is carefully carved by traditional craftsmen using only a knife called a sarkiri from wood such as kosiabura.
Lucky charm for descendants prosperity and protection from evil spirits
Representative works of Sasano Ittobori include ``Chicken'', ``Sekirei'', and ``Otaka Poppo''.
As Yonezawa feudal lord Yozan Uesugi recommended frugality and hard work in order to reform his finances, he encouraged people to ``wake up early like chickens'' and ``prosperate like Sekirei''.It comes from the saying that if that happens, your stipend will rise dramatically.
This product is recommended as a congratulatory gift, such as a baby shower gift for your child.
