Item Description
Two pairs of Mini Matsuri Emperor and Empress. Split them for gifts, or add them together on your Matsuri display.
Nozawa Mingei Hin is the main producer of akabeko in Japan, located in the region of Nishi Aizu. Master Hourin is a master hariko creator and is especially known for his traditional red painted paper mache cow, each which is made by hand and painted with careful precision so that the owner can enjoy it for many decades. Even the box that the akabeko is packaged and sold in is handmade by a local nongovernmental agency in the area that employs physically and mentally challenged people who rely on Nozawa Mingei Hin’s orders as their main source of income. Minako Hayakawa, is also well known and respected for her okiagari hariko where she paints well recognized figures onto traditionally created and molded hariko to encourage younger artists and customers to once again take interest and pride in mingei crafts.
