{"title":"Shinobu Kogeiten","description":"\u003cp\u003eShinobu Kogeiten was founded in 1946 by Noriyasu Shinobu, who came from a long line of carpentry joiners, and applied his skills to wooden crafts and folk toys. His son, Kentaro, now runs the studio, incorporating the traditions of his father with modern painting techniques to produce charming, handmade, regional folk toys. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShinobu Kogeiten is located near Kannon-in, a Buddhist temple well-known for its Japanese garden, and is a nationally-designated Special Place of Scenic Beauty. Here, they produce toys based on local culture and folklore, such as Tottori’s black,\u003cem\u003e Inhaku-gyu \u003c\/em\u003ecattle (famous for Wagyu beef), and \u003cem\u003enagashibina \u003c\/em\u003edolls, based on the local custom of floating traditional \u003cem\u003ehina \u003c\/em\u003edolls down the river to ward off misfortune. Particularly noteworthy are the Tottori \u003cem\u003eeto\u003c\/em\u003e toys. These are wooden toys based on the twelve animals of the Japanese zodiac associated with Tottori Prefecture, such as the \u003cem\u003eInhaku-gyu\u003c\/em\u003e and the Inaba white hare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShinobu Kogeiten mainly uses locally produced wood such as cedar and cypress, and uses the natural texture of the wood and simple but modern painting to enhance the unique charm of the toys. Their products are deeply rooted in Tottori’s local culture and folklore, and each embodies the charm and history of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"japanese-zodiac-wooden-dolls-set-paper-box","title":"Japanese Zodiac Wooden Dolls Set - Paper Box","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA set of “bean-sized” Japanese zodiac dolls.
