Kabuki Dog Hariko Ornament
£35
Hariko is the Japanese art of making animal figurines from layered paper or papier-mâché, a craft dating back to the Mingei folk art period.
A riff on the traditional hariko, these figurines feature a dog who happens to be a kabuki actor in full stage make-up, carrying a snake. His crimson ‘beniguma’ face paint identifies him as a bit rowdy but nevertheless he's an all-round good guy. Meanwhile snakes are considered auspicious creatures which symbolise wealth and vitality and bring good fortune.
These figurines are created by an organisation near Nara, Japan, which offers jobs and opportunities for persons with disabilities and otherwise facing barriers to employment. Each piece is made and painted by hand.
Measures approx. 11cm long.
Gift wrapped in tissue paper
