- CREATORS INFO
"Mouse" is considered to be auspicious as a symbol of growth and prosperity due to its strong fertility, and is also used as a motif in many Fushimi dolls.
There is also a theory that since the rat is the first animal in the zodiac, the letters "Eto-gashira" (animal characters) were rearranged to create "Togarashi" (pepper).

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.
