zubonbo 浅草のずぼんぼ Zubonbo lion or tiger
zubonbo is a refrain of the lion dance, with no special meaning.
The small paper toy dates back to about 1785 and was sold at the Asakusa Kannon Temple.
It has the form of a lion or a tiger. The legs are made of little shijimi clams, like a horseshoe. They were the "fishing weight" to balance the toy. But it can lift up if you put it in front of a small folding screen and use a handfan to bring air under its belly. This was signifying "To move up from your bed".
This toy was an amulet to recover from health fast, and often given to ill people.
This toy came out of favor in the Meiji period, but was revived somehow in Hiroshima.
shijimi clams were a speciality of Edo.

tsukegi no ema 北千住 付け木の絵馬 votive tablet on a wooden frame
There is now just one shop in Kita Senju which makes these, the Ema-Ya 絵馬屋.
The wooden frame is about 7 x 13 cm. It is covered with gofun 胡粉 and then a colorful animal painted on it.
The Inari fox is for a good harvest, the rooster for Koojin 荒神様 to prevent fire and disaster, the Tengu for the 金毘羅様 Konpira deity, the dove for Kannon Bosatsu, the serpent for Benten . . .
The horse and bull are messengers of the Deity of Water 水神さま and bring a good harvest. These amulets were stuck on a bamboo pole and placed at the water inlet of the rice paddies.
Now made at Yoshidaya 吉田家.
