No product description available. This is a lucky charm depicting two bales of rice. In the Aizu region, cows are called "Beko." About 1200 years ago, during the construction of Enzoji Temple at Fukuman Kokuzo Son in Aizu-Yanagizu, it is said that a red cow worked until the very end. Inspired by that red cow, red paper-mache Akabeko dolls have been made since ancient times to pray for the healthy growth of children, with the wish "May you be patient and healthy." Red is considered a color that repels evil spirits, and it is also given as a charm against epidemics, making it a beloved toy. This item was found at home and is handmade.
