Year of the Horse Washi Paper Handmade Ornament - Taiyaki Lunch

【Zodiac Horse Chigiri-e Ornament - Tai-Go】 Meticulously crafted using traditional Japanese Chigiri-e (torn paper art) techniques, this piece combines the auspicious symbolism of the zodiac horse with the "Tai" fish, signifying a great leap forward and abundant fortune. 【Design Highlights: Double Auspiciousness, Joy Upon Joy】 Craftsmanship: This ornament features the "Chigiri-e" technique, where artisans carefully tear and meticulously paste Washi paper, piece by piece. The simple yet delicate beauty of Washi paper gently adorns the beginning of the new year. Tai Fish Motif: The horse, with its gentle expression, is adorned with a Tai fish pattern. In Japanese, "Tai" (鯛) shares a phonetic connection with "Medetai" (めでたい, meaning joyous or auspicious), making the Tai fish an indispensable symbol of celebration since ancient times. Dual Fortune: This ornament merges the "leap" of the horse with the "celebration" of the Tai fish, creating a unique charm piece that symbolizes great fortune and prosperity, heralding a hopeful and beautiful new year. 【Blessings and Meanings: Smooth Progress and Home Stability】 Leap and Smoothness: The horse (午, Uma) is an auspicious animal symbolizing a "leap forward." The Japanese pronunciation "Uma" also resonates with "everything goes smoothly" (物事が“うまく”いく). Attracting Wealth and Fortune: Horses are said to "gallop in good fortune." Their powerful stance is seen as a symbol of "business prosperity" (商売繁盛) and "family safety" (家内安全). Spiritual Healing: In the hustle and bustle of modern life, the gentle texture of Washi paper offers a sense of calm and allows you to feel the unique passage of seasons in Japan. 【Placement and Gifting Suggestions】 Occasions: This charming, palm-sized ornament is perfect for placement in various areas of your home, such as the entryway, living room, or alcove (Tokonoma), to create a warm ambiance. Purpose: With its dual auspicious meanings and the heartfelt touch of handmade craftsmanship, it is an ideal choice for personal use or as a gift to convey New Year's blessings to cherished friends and family. 【Product Specifications】 Dimensions: 11×8×8.5cm Material: Ceramic, Washi Paper Origin: Japan 【Important Notes】 ※ Each item is handmade, so there will be slight variations in color, pattern, and form for each finished product.
