Hachiman-uma (Yawatama) are local toys from the Nanbu region, centered around Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture. They originated as wooden horses sold during the festivals of "Kushihiki Hachimangu Shrine," which once flourished with horse dedications. Today, they are widely cherished as celebratory gifts for things like the prosperity of descendants, household safety, weddings, and new homes. 【Size】 Height: Red Horse - approx. 13cm / Black Horse - approx. 17cm Width: Red Horse - approx. 10cm / Black Horse - approx. 13cm Purchased probably over 40 years ago.
