Osaka Hariko (papier-mache) has been designated a traditional craft by the Osaka Governor. These hollow hariko made out of shaped paper have been popular since the Muromachi era, more than 500 years ago, as a toy to pray for the growth of children. Osaka Hariko are venerable hariko and the tiger hariko at Mount Shigi, where Bishamonten appeared for the first time in Japan, is also an original hariko. Popular tiger hariko are used inside the home as talismans and good luck charms. If you push the head, the weight at the neck will make it swing to and fro, so both children and adults can enjoy this!
