Description: | Papier-mché model of a dog, Inu-Hariko. White with blue, red, white and pink painted decoration. Three model drums (den-den-daiko) are glued to the back. On the side of each drum is red paper with floral patterns. The rearmost drum has a bell suspended on cords from either side. A gold-coloured pole wrapped with a diagonal red stripe projects behind the dog from the back of the rearmost drum. The middle drum, supported on a red, more or less cylindrical, cross-beam, is bound with yellow cord. The front drum has a bow at the front tied with green, red and yellow cord. The dog has erect ears and tail (which curves over its back below the drums), and a painted black cap over its eyes. The face is painted with round black eyes, a red mouth and brownish whiskers and eyebrows. There is a decorative yoke and saddle in blue, white, and pink with a red border. The model is said to represent a deity who protects babies, Koma Inu. A leaflet is also provided with the model.
