Okiagari-Koboshi literally means small priest standing. It is a traditional Japanese culbuto made of papier mache and designed in such a way to always return to the vertical position when tilted on the side. It symbolizes perseverance and resistance to adversity, echoing the Japanese proverb: "Seven times on the ground, eight times standing". Tradition has it that we buy a culbuto for each family member plus one, in the hope that the family is growing in the year. Dimensions: Height: 4.8 cm Composition: crepe paper and symbolic Washi paper: Perseverance & Resistance Manufacturing: Japan The opinion of the Kumo workshop: a tradition coming straight from the country of the rising sun! History: Empress Suiko (554-628) was the first woman to climb on the throne of the Chrysanthemum in Japan. She had an important influence on the political and religious affairs of her time: during her long reign, she opened relations with China, strengthened Buddhism and approved the constitution of 17 articles. It was for her time a modern and loyal woman with strong convictions.
