- CREATORS INFO
A sacred horse (shinme) is a horse that is dedicated to a shrine as a divine horse and participates in shrine rituals.
This is a large Fushimi doll, the "Sacred Horse," measuring approximately 60cm in length. The horse's harness, including the chest strap, belly band, and neckband, is also luxuriously decorated.
Because of their forward momentum, horses are considered to symbolize progress, growth, victory, and success.
In the last image, to give an idea of the size, it is photographed next to the 2025 zodiac sign, Snake (center), and a boy holding a sea bream.
Pre-orders will be available in advance of the 2026 zodiac sign.

Tanka
Founded in the around 1750.
Located along the Fushimi Kaido road, this Fushimi doll kiln is marked by its historic appearance and red "noren" curtains.
When Fushimi dolls were at their peak (late Edo period), there were about 60 kilns lined up along the Fushimi Kaido road, but only one kiln still exists today. It was the only one.
At "Tanka," molds are made from spring to summer, and after drying in the sun in summer, the pieces are bisque fired in a kiln.
The painting is done from autumn to winter and spring when the glue is in good condition.
This seasonal process has been repeated for over 250 years.
They continues to create dolls every day, passing on the stories behind them.
