Wooden couple dolls holding hands, approximately 10cm in size. - Design: Wooden couple dolls - Feature: Holding hands posture - Tags: One wood is spirit - Size: Approximately 10cm The following is the seller's description: It's an old item. I think I received it as a souvenir. There's an inscription on the back, but I can't read it. The following is from the internet: This is a wooden carved couple doll called "Utmannipopo," a traditional Ainu craft from Hokkaido. In the Ainu language, "Utman" means couple, and "Nipopo" means doll. It is carved from a single piece of wood, with their arms intertwined, expressing the wish for marital harmony and strong bonds, "one wood (spirit)." It is believed to be a charm that protects against illness and injury and brings good luck. Some are hand-carved by inmates of Abashiri Prison, wishing for rehabilitation. Thank you for viewing.
