Handmade in Japan [Sarubobo] Hanging Dolls | Traditional good luck charms from Hida Takayama for inbound tourists, popular Japanese goods with foreign tourists

A fruit of love born in Hida Takayama

Sarubobo is a local toy that has been made in the Hida Takayama region of Gifu Prefecture since the Edo period.
"Saru" means monkey and "bobo" means baby in Hida dialect, so the adorable name means "baby monkey."
These charms are filled with warm love and have been hand-sewn stitch by stitch by grandmothers and mothers since ancient times, wishing for the happiness of their beloved children and grandchildren.
Monkeys are also believed to be auspicious animals that ward off misfortune (monkeys), and have been cherished as symbols of family bonds and love.

The deep wishes contained in Sarubobo

Sarubobo is filled with many wishes.
First of all, it serves as a talisman to ward off evil spirits, as the wordplay is "disaster goes away."
Additionally, monkeys are considered a symbol of safe childbirth, so they are also popular as talismans for praying for safe pregnancy and childbirth.
Furthermore, it is imbued with wishes for family harmony, marital harmony, and the healthy growth of children, and is worshipped as an all-purpose talisman that protects the happiness of the entire family. It is also characterized by its expressionless face, which has a deeper meaning that it can appear to have any expression depending on the owner's feelings.

The meaning of Sarubobo in hanging dolls

Adding Sarubobo to hanging Hina dolls is expected to have even more powerful effects of warding off evil and bringing good luck.
On Hinamatsuri, the love of parents for their children's healthy growth and the love to protect them from harm, combined with the traditional power of the Sarubobo, take on a special meaning.
Furthermore, the culture that has developed in the naturally rich environment surrounded by the mountains of Hida Takayama has been combined with the beautiful Japanese tradition of Hinamatsuri to create even deeper cultural value.

Traditional techniques woven by artisans

These little Sarubobo dolls are carefully handcrafted one by one by artisans who have inherited traditional methods.
The kimonos, made from beautiful crepe fabric, are so exquisite that they look just like authentic Japanese clothing.
Although it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, its careful attention to detail is a testament to the excellence of Japanese craftsmanship.
Each colorful kimono has a different pattern, making them truly one-of-a-kind.
Its adorable appearance warms the hearts of those who see it and makes them feel happy.

The spirit of tradition lives on in the present day

Even today, Sarubobo continues to be loved by many people.
It is especially highly regarded by tourists from overseas as a valuable cultural heritage that expresses the richness of Japan's regional culture.
By displaying them as part of a hanging doll display, you can enjoy the beautiful harmony of traditional cultures from all over Japan coming together.
Furthermore, its cute appearance is loved by many people of all ages, and it is enjoyed not only as a charm but also as interior decoration.
