These are chopstick rests featuring the zodiac animal for the year Reiwa 8 (2026), the horse. They are approximately 5cm long. There are two types: a horse with red ears and a horse with green ears. Next year is the year of Hinoe-Uma (Fire Horse), and of course, it's the once-in-a-60-year Hinoe-Uma. However, the birth rate dropped drastically 60 years ago. The main reason was the incident of [Oshichi the Vegetable Seller (Yaoya Oshichi)], a real woman. In the Edo period (1683), a woman born in the year of Hinoe-Uma, set fire to a building for love and was eventually burned at the stake... This became the superstition that "Women born in the year of Hinoe-Uma have a fiery temper and will devour their husbands." The story was adapted many times in stories, Joruri (narrative ballad drama), and Kabuki, and it was ingrained as entertainment for generations. People of the current generation will be thinking, "What's Hinoe-Uma?" I've gone completely off-topic, but next year's zodiac animal is the horse. They are two very cute, differently colored horses with ears. They can be used as ornaments, or of course, as chopstick rests, knife and fork rests, etc. They are very cute. If anyone is interested, I will sell them. They will be shipped via Yu-Yu Mercari Bin. May it be a good year.
