Miharu Hariko, originating from the Takashiba area of Koriyama City
The "Koshi-taka Tora" (腰高トラ) is a hariko (paper-mâché) representation that embodies the wish for safe returns for travelers, reflecting the tiger's behavior of "traveling a thousand miles and returning a thousand miles." It is also given as a gift, symbolizing the hope that boys grow up to be strong and robust.
This is a vintage piece.
