I carved the Year of the Horse (Uma) for the Year of Reiwa 8 (2026) from holy Palo Santo wood. It's a protective charm, just the upper part of the horse (removing "ma" from "uma"). Onyx, a natural stone, is set in the eyes. Dimensions: 36mm x 26mm ⚫︎ Uma (Year 8 of Reiwa) The horse is a symbol of strength, dynamism, success, and progress. It is also a lucky animal that brings good fortune, as it's associated with the phrase "umaku iku" (to go well). ● Onyx (Black Agate) It represents unwavering belief and is said to support the achievement of goals. ● Palo Santo (Holy Wood) It is said to ward off evil and attract good things. It is also called the "holy wood" or "wood that brings happiness." Due to the Washington Convention, its export is restricted, and it has become very expensive.
