Fukukan/Fortune Can - Fortune Horse

A fortune horse is an individually handcrafted lucky cart of the Chinese Zodiac, made form fragrant Japanese cypress, nurtured in forests that have been carefully tended and passed down through generations in Nishi-awakura Village in Okayama Prefecture. It was crafted with wishes such as 'Things will proceed smoothly' and 'Luck will come galloping in,' overlaid onto the pronunciation of 'Uma' (meaning 'horse' and 'smoothly' in Japanese) and its image of powerful galloping. A fortune cart of the Chinese zodiac embodies the wish that the galloping horse will bring good fortune to your surroundings.
