This leather pin brooch is modeled after beloved Tottori folk toy shop Yanagiya’s White Hare of Inaba mask. The White Hare of Inaba is one of Tottori’s most well-known folk tales. In this tale, a lord known as Okuninushi was traveling through ancient Tottori (Inaba) seeking to woo Princess Yakami of Inaba. On his way, he came across a hare whose skin had been flayed by sharks. Unlike his cruel brothers, Okuninushi was a kind man, and told the hare to wash itself in fresh water and roll around in cattails, which restored the hare’s white fur. The hare then took Okuninushi to the princess and the two were united in marriage.
