Incorporating the lucky "Hidariuma" charm into daily life
"Hidariuma" (literally "left horse") is derived from reading the character for "uma" (horse) in reverse as "mau" (dance), evoking the image of a "dancing celebration". It has long been cherished as a charm that brings good fortune.
Especially in Tenjo City, Yamagata Prefecture, it is highly valued as a gift symbolizing wishes for prosperity in new construction celebrations, store openings, and booming business.
Also, the reversed character for "horse" is said to resemble "umaku (uma) iku" meaning "to go well (horse)" and has been loved as a symbol inviting good luck.
Born in Tenjo, the famous production area of shogi pieces, the "Hidariuma" is a traditional charm embodying the skills and heritage of local craftsmen, unique to Tenjo.
The modern Hidariuma is not clumsy!
Hidariuma Neo is a nostalgic Hidariuma found in the homes of older generations, now arranged in colorful and pop styles.
With a cute mini size, it can be lightly displayed on shelves or desks as a small space accent.
Placed in places like shrines or living rooms, it naturally invites good fortune and serves as a visual reminder to boost concentration and motivation for success in offices or studies.
While being a charm for good luck, the Hidariuma ornament also allows you to feel the beauty of traditional Japanese culture. It is perfect as a gift for new house celebrations, store openings, coming-of-age celebrations, or other life milestones.
