This is a Torisuzu (tiger bell) from Nokomi dolls, sold as a souvenir at Yutoku Inari Shrine. I am also selling the Ox doll, so discounts are available for combined purchases. Retail price: 2,750 yen The larger size is about 11 cm, including the straw part. It was displayed once during the Year of the Tiger, so please check the condition in the photos. Please understand that this is a home-stored item before purchasing. [Description] These clay dolls were originally created by Teruji Suzuta as folk toys with the desire to brighten the post-war world. They are still made in Nokomi, Kashima City. They spread as amulets for warding off evil and bringing good luck, and are now a very popular folk craft representing Kashima among tourists. The round, simplified shapes and colorful designs of Nokomi dolls are very charming, and each one is made with love. The simple "karakara" sound and the warm feeling of the clay dolls are very soothing.
