A set of “bean-sized” Japanese zodiac dolls. The Japanese zodiac, called eto in Japanese, is similar to the Chinese zodiac. Its main difference is that the eighth sign is sheep and its twelfth sign is wild boar (their Chinese counterparts are goat and pig). Painted in a simple and somewhat modern style, this set is a wonderful good luck charm, New Year’s gift, or gift for other occasions. Comes with one small platform to display the current year’s zodiac sign or your own sign.
Each eto figure is about 3cm tall
Box: L28 x W19 x H6 cm
