Thank you for viewing. Chagu Chagu Umako are folk toys in the shape of horses, mainly produced in Morioka City and Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture. Their origin is the event of praying for good health and longevity at the Sozen Shrine, the guardian deity of horses, by adorning beloved horses with colorful costumes and multiple bells. Chagu Chagu Umako are toys that miniaturize the horses' appearance during this event, and they began as a cottage industry for people in the vicinity of Morioka around the 1950s. ◻︎I have many other items for sale, and I offer a discount for sets.
