Sarubobo and Kukurizaru

This product is called "Sarubobo" and "Kukurizaru", both of which have the meaning of amulets. Sarubobo…Nobobo means “baby” in the local dialect of Hida, Japan. Sarubobo means "monkey baby". (Right side of the first image) The left side of the first image is called "Kukurizaru" and is located in a shrine called "Koshindo" in Kyoto, Japan. At Koshindo, we write our wishes on the back of the ties and dedicate them. It is said that if you endure something, your wish will come true. Also, in a place called Naramachi in Nara Prefecture, red and white kukurizaru are hung from the eaves of houses and shops to ward off evil spirits. This is a charm of the Kukuri Zaru and Sarubobo. It is designed so that it can be hung on a bag or backpack. The colander is a little large, but it is round and very cute when hung. This time, I am selling this as a set of two. I would be happy if you could hang it anywhere you like, not just a bag or backpack.
