Folk craft associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu-ko: "Tora-Doji"
A lucky charm folk toy that overcomes hardship
Tora-Doji is a Shinshiro folk toy, a tiger roly-poly doll born from the anecdote that "Ieyasu-ko is the incarnation of the Tora-Doji deity enshrined at Horaiji Temple." It is loved as a lucky charm that gets back up when it falls, reflecting the life of Ieyasu-ko, who overcame many hardships to unify the country.
Since DA MONDE TRAIL is celebrating its 10th anniversary this time...
Takeuchi Clock Shop has agreed to produce
an even more special Tora-Doji than the usual special Tora-Doji!!

The local forest I've known since I was a child becomes a special space filled with "fun"—
DA MONDE TRAIL is a tournament that casts such amazing magic.

We received this wonderful comment from Mr. Takeuchi, who created it!
The Tora-Doji is designed with the image of the green of the Prefectural Forest shining in the fresh verdure and the blue sky...
On its sparkling back, there is a hexagon, the same as the DA MONDE logo, with the message "10th ANNIVERSARY".

I'm sure the cute Tora-Doji are looking forward to the day of the tournament just as much as all of you participating!☺️
It was late March, and a chill still remained.
Through a wonderful connection made by Mr. Takeuchi, I walked through the Prefectural Forest with Mr. Takeuchi and his friend Silvia, who came from Italy.
I have written an article summarizing that day like a diary.
I have always wanted to take Mr. Takeuchi, who kindly supports our tournament, to Kenmin no Mori (Prefectural Forest).
It was a very happy day when my wish finally came true.
Regarding the production of this Tora-Doji, Mr. Takeuchi commented,
"The fun experience of walking in the forest with the three of us really helped!"
and
The 10th-anniversary Tora-Doji has become a very special one for both the tournament and for me!
🔷 There is so much of the very kind and cute world of Tora-Doji!
