Wooden Horse Ornament (limited series)

Like a horse galloping a thousand miles

A gentle expression of the year of the horse. Since ancient times, horses have been considered auspicious signs that "things will go well" and "bring good fortune," and the "left horse" in particular, which faces backwards, has been popular as a guardian deity of prosperous business because of its appearance of beckoning people.

If you reverse the character "uma"(meaning horse), it becomes "mau", and it is said to bring joy and prosperity. The lower part of the horse resembles a purse and symbolises good fortune, preventing money from escaping.

This ornament is said to bring good luck and also promote success in life, as well as a long and healthy life. You can just display it in your entranceway or alcove to welcome the new year.

We hope you welcome 2026 with the heartwarming image of a mother and child horse leaning their heads together.

勢いよく千里を駆ける馬のように - 2026年の干支は「午」です。

「午」をやさしく表現しました。馬は古来より 「物事がうまくいく」 「福を呼び込む」吉兆とされ、なかでも逆向きの「左馬(ひだりうま)」は、馬が人を招く姿から商売繁盛の守り神として親しまれてきました。

文字を反転すると「まう」に通じ、喜びや繁栄をもたらすとも言われます。また、馬の下部は巾着に似てお金が逃げない金運の象徴。

立身出世や健康長寿の願いも込められるこの縁起を、この置物に託しました。玄関や床の間に飾り、新しい年をお迎えください。

使用している材は、しなやかで優しい雰囲気を醸し出すクルミ材。

顔を寄せ合う「うま」の親子のほほえましい姿とともに、新しい年を迎えていただけたら幸いです。
