馬

俵（米俵）
米は命と財産の象徴で俵は五穀豊穣・金運・商売繁盛・家の繁栄を表す
「柳屋」は鳥取県鳥取市にて1928年から2014年までの 86年間にわたり郷土玩具を作り続けた工房です。屋号は「柳に雪折れなし」という、ことわざに由来します。
初代 田中達之助は因幡地方の歴史や伝説を元に創作玩具を発表する一方、廃絶していた玩具の復元にも尽力し、妻 利子とともに研究と制作を重ねました。屋号を体現するような仕事は娘夫妻へと受け継がれ、張り子面や土鈴、木製人形など、50種類以上にも及ぶ多種多様な玩具が生み出されました。
2020年に始動した『YANAGIYA REPRODUCT』では新たな作り手たちが二代目 田中謹二・宮子夫妻にその手法を学び、柳屋の玩具制作に取り組んでいます。

Horse
In Japan, horses have long been an essential source of labor in agriculture and are regarded as symbols of speed, advancement, and success.
There is also a wordplay in Japanese: “uma” (horse) sounds like “things going well” (umaku iku), making the horse an auspicious motif associated with good fortune.
Tawara (Rice Bale)
Rice symbolizes life and wealth in Japan. A rice bale represents abundant harvests, financial prosperity, thriving business, and the flourishing of the household.
Yanagiya was a workshop in Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture, that produced local folk toys for 86 years, from 1928 to 2014.
The workshop’s name derives from the Japanese proverb, “Yanagi ni yuki ore nashi” — “A willow does not break under the weight of snow.”
The founder, Tatsunosuke Tanaka, created original toys inspired by the history and legends of the Inaba region, while also dedicating himself to restoring toys that had fallen out of production. Together with his wife Toshiko, he continued research and craftsmanship. Their spirit of work, true to the workshop’s name, was passed down to their daughter and her husband, resulting in the creation of more than fifty different kinds of toys, including papier-mâché masks, clay bells, and wooden dolls.
Launched in 2020, “YANAGIYA REPRODUCT” is a project in which new makers learn the traditional techniques from second-generation successors Kinji and Miyako Tanaka and carry forward the craft of Yanagiya’s toy production.
