Bring the good luck of "Hidari Uma" into your daily life.
"Hidari Uma" (left horse) is associated with "mai" (dancing), which sounds like "uma" (horse) when read backward. This evokes "celebratory dances" and has been cherished as a good luck charm that invites fortune since ancient times.
It is particularly valued in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, as a gift for housewarmings, opening celebrations, and wishes for business prosperity.
Furthermore, the figure of the character "horse" reversed left-to-right is said to correspond to "umaku iku" (to go well), and it has been loved as a symbol that brings good luck.
Born in Tendo, a renowned production area for Shogi pieces, "Hidari Uma" is a unique good luck charm from Tendo, imbued with regional tradition and the skill of artisans.
The Reiwa era Hidari Uma shouldn't be ordinary!
Hidari Uma Neo is a colorful and pop arrangement of the nostalgic, retro Hidari Uma that used to be in your grandparents' house.
Its cute mini size allows you to casually decorate it in small spaces like on your desk or shelf.
Placing it at your entrance or in your living room will naturally invite good fortune, while in your workroom or study, it serves as a visual boost to enhance concentration and the drive for success.
This Hidari Uma ornament, while a motif of good luck, also allows you to feel the traditional beauty of Japan, making it an ideal gift for life's milestones such as housewarmings, opening celebrations, coming-of-age ceremonies, and promotions.
Hidari Uma is made in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture. This is a region famous for its woodworking crafts, including Shogi pieces and furniture.
Hidari Uma is one of the crafts born in Tendo. It can be said to be a representative good luck charm that swept the nation during Japan's high economic growth period in the Showa era, to the point where it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that every household had one.
