Kyoto Handmade Ornament - Frog of Safe Return (Large)

[Ornament - Frog of Safe Return] One reason frogs are so beloved in Japan comes from their pronunciation. Kaeru (frog) sounds the same as kaeru (to return). This association makes frogs symbols of wishes for money to return after being spent, and for people to return home safely from their travels. In Taiwan, there's also a cultural belief in toads bringing wealth. Both frogs and toads have large mouths, which can metaphorically "bite" and hold onto your money, safeguarding your fortune. [RyuKyuDo: A Century of Warm, Handmade Heritage] This frog ornament hails from RyuKyuDo, a century-old shop in Kyoto. RyuKyuDo is renowned for its generations-old exquisite craftsmanship, specializing in handmade washi paper ornaments. Each piece embodies the artisan's dedication, from the selection and shaping of the washi paper to the delicate painting, all meticulously completed by hand. RyuKyuDo's creations are more than just decorations; they are works of art that carry Kyoto's traditional culture, allowing every collector to feel the warmth of these handmade treasures.
