Kyoto Handmade Ornament - Frog of Safe Return (Small)

[Ornament - Frog of Safe Return] One of the reasons frogs are so beloved in Japan lies in their pronunciation. Kaeru (frog) sounds the same as kaeru (to return). Thus, wishes for money to come back after being spent, and for loved ones to return home safely from their travels, all became associated with frogs! Taiwan also has a culture of using toads to attract wealth. Both frogs and toads have large mouths, which can help you snatch up money and hold onto your fortune. [Ryukodo: A Century of Warm, Handmade Heritage] This frog ornament comes from Ryukodo, a century-old shop in Kyoto. Ryukodo is renowned for its exquisite, generations-old craftsmanship, specializing in handmade washi paper ornaments. Each piece embodies the artisan's dedication, from the selection and shaping of the washi paper to the delicate painting, all meticulously completed by hand. Ryukodo's creations are more than just decorations; they are works of art that carry Kyoto's traditional culture, allowing every collector to feel the warmth of these handmade treasures.
