This monkey is sold at the festival of the local Hidaka Jinja 日高神社 Shrine。This shine is located at the top of the Karakuwa peninsula 唐桑半島 and therefore also called

Its amulets are good for a safe journey on the sea and for good relationships.
The main festival is during the New Year season and fishermen from nearby Ofunato in Iwate also come to buy amulets. They get a set of various toy amulets, 諸玩具, the monkey being one of the toy-amulets.
They are simple toys made from babmoo and a spring to move the monkey up and down. This is a pun with

ABOUT Sendai papier-mâché
Handsome looking blue daruma doll, cute sparrow and expressive mask - - these are the varieties of heart-warming Sendai papier-mâché. It is said that a low-ranked samurai warrior started this as his side job.
The representative of Sendai papier-mâché is Matsukawa daruma, well known today as the blue daruma doll. The difference between Matsukawa daruma and other darumas are the blue body color and big dark brown eyes. Regular daruma dolls have a red body and its eyes are blank, but Matsukawa daruma dolls have big eyes to see all directions for protecting family. It has the blue ultramarine color lining the face and a painting of a treasure boat and god of wealth on its stomach.

Sendai Hariko is a kind of toy made from molded and colored paper, on which patterns such as Oriental Zodiac animals, Fukusuke, or various masks are painted. It is said that this craft was created by a low-ranked warrior of the Sendai domain during the Tenpo era (1830-1844) and its making was widely spread among warriors as their side jobs.
Though technical improvements
were made during the Edo period, the making of Sendai Hariko was discontinued in the Meiji period (1868-1912). It was revived by local people in 1921 and has been handed down to the present days.
The most common item of Sendai Hariko is the Matsukawa Daruma doll. The daruma is colored ultramarine around its face, and the body, in strong relief, is decorated with the god of wealth, a treasure ship, and so on. Also, it has eyebrows made of real hair and eyes made of glass. It is loved by people as a bringer of good luck.
Other lovely Hariko
such as various kinds of masks and animals are also popular. As they are all hand made, each pieces of Sendai Hariko has gentle warmth and a humorous shape that can’t be created by machines. Maybe this is why they have been loved by people for nearly 200 years
