[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools hanging scroll (kakejiku)] One line of horses (left horse) by Arima Yoritsune

●Hidariuma (left horse) (present on decorative pieces)...the character for "horse" written upside down
Since ancient times, horses have been said to be auspicious animals, and the "Hidariuma" (left horse), which is made by reversing the character for horse, is considered a symbol of good fortune.
The origin of this tradition is that horses have a habit of falling over if ridden on the right side, so they are always ridden on the left side.
In other words, one theory is that the dance is because "mau" (dance), which is the reverse reading of "uma" (horse), has been held at auspicious occasions since ancient times, or because the bottom part of the character for "uma" (horse) resembles a purse and is associated with the accumulation of money.
In the world of pottery, when a newly built kiln is fired, it is common to fire a piece depicting a left-handed horse (head on the right, tail on the left) with the hope that the piece will not fall over during the firing process and will be safe.
