Thank you very much for viewing. [Rare] Hamamatsu Hariko Tai-guruma (Sea Bream Cart) Kayo Nihashi Auspicious Item Folk Toy Traditional Craft Folk Art Hamamatsu Hariko is a local toy that began production in Hamamatsu in the early Meiji era, using the techniques of Hisayasu Miwa, a former Tokugawa retainer, who was living in Edo at the time. Hisayasu's son, Eichi, passed on the tradition, and Hisayasu's sixth daughter, Shino Nihashi (designated as an Intangible Cultural Property of Hamamatsu City in 1959), was involved in the production. This work is a "Tai-guruma" (Sea Bream Cart) by Kayo Nihashi (also known as Kayoko), the fourth generation who inherited Hamamatsu Hariko after Shino's death. The sea bream is an auspicious item that has been familiar to people since ancient times, as it is associated with "omedetai" (auspicious).
