The "Hidari Uma" that the letter of "the horse" is written in the inverse and it is a unique characteristic shogi piece which it was born in Tendo.<br /><br />Around Tendo, it is useful as a present for a person who builds a house or begins business, etc. Why we present the "Hidari Uma", it is because that we regard the "Hidari Uma" the defense piece of the business prosperity, causes good luck. .<br /><br /><br />On the "Hidari Uma", the letter of "the horse" is written in the inverse. It can be read with "ma-u"(dance) when "u-ma"(the horse) is read from the inverse. The sound of "ma-u" makes us remember "dance". We have danced in the lucky time from the old days, for example a festival, after harvest, etc. So the "Hidari Uma" causes good luck, we think.<br /><br />Furthermore, a part under the letter of "the horse" looks like shape of the old Japanese wallet "Kinchaku". A mouth of the "Kinchaku" becomes muscular well, put money doesn't run away. So the "Hidari Uma" is also the symbol of the wealth from old days.<br /><br />That is the reason why we regard the "Hidari Uma" a defense piece of the business prosperity which causes good luck. They sell the "Hidari Uma" at the shogi shops and as Gift shops as a "Okigoma"(ornament) and "Netsukegoma"(a kind of key ring), etc. Would you like buying one, too ?<br />/<br />http://www.ikechang.com/shogi4e.htm<br />.<br />Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045806172544343502.post-15133522168126354562020-08-01T14:03:45.027+09:002020-08-01T14:03:45.027+09:00Legend from Gifu 岐阜県大野郡 Ono district 宮村 Miyamura v...<b> Legend from Gifu 岐阜県大野郡 Ono district 宮村 Miyamura village // 飛騨の匠</b><br />The horse statue made by a master craftsman from Hida at 一ノ宮 the Shrine Ichi no Miya ran away every night and devastated the fields.<br />So they crushed its eyes to keep it in its place. <br />.<br />https://edoflourishing.blogspot.com/2020/05/takumi-master-craftsman.html<br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6045806172544343502.post-1483567925740035512018-05-18T10:08:47.962+09:002018-05-18T10:08:47.962+09:00Legend from Iwate, Tono 遠野市 Tōno
