...i.e. the doll-toy that also functions as a talisman because however you drop it, it stands upright. Here shaped as various animals and with Edo period clothes...
...shaped as container for oracles (like those in the fortune cookies; in Japan they are called "omikuji"/"おみくじ")...
...and in the shape of another talisman, the rake called "kumade" (熊手) which we have mentioned many times because of the Tori no Ichi (酉の市) festival/fair in November.
