Product Story

General Product Information

This horse figurine is modeled after the scene from the Noh play "Shakkyo" (Stone Bridge). The horse's saddle is glazed in a mix of rust and blue colors, representing the stone bridge on which the monk Jakushō encounters a miraculous sight during his journey in the play. I hope you can enjoy the world of the story by placing it on your bookshelf or display shelf.
