■ About Sarubobo Sarubobo is a traditional doll from the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture, widely cherished as a good luck charm. Originally, grandmothers and mothers in the Hida region made them wishing for the healthy growth of their children and grandchildren. The name comes from the Hida dialect, where "saru" means "monkey" and "bobo" means "baby," referring to a baby monkey. Origin and Meaning of Sarubobo Origin of the Name: In the Hida dialect, "saru" means "monkey," and "bobo" means "baby." It was named because it resembles a baby monkey. Good Luck Charm: Since "en" (縁) can also mean "relationship" or "fate," it is believed to bring good luck in relationships and harmony. It also has the meaning of warding off evil and illness, as "saru" (去る) can mean "to leave" or "to go away." Traditional Color (Red): Since ancient times, red has been believed to have the power to ward off illness. Red Sarubobo dolls are especially associated with wishes for "fertility," "safe childbirth," "marital harmony," and "family safety." Reason for No Face: Sarubobo dolls do not have faces. This is because they are meant to reflect the owner's feelings, appearing to smile when the owner is happy and to cry when the owner is sad, thus being a companion in any situation. ■ Condition Stored in a bag.
