2027 Year of the Sheep Handmade Papier-Mâché Lucky Ornament Figure "Mēde Tai"

Order via Japan Rabbit

Welcome good fortune into your home with this handmade hariko sheep figure, crafted to celebrate the coming 2027 Year of the Sheep.

The design is a playful one: a gentle sheep cradling a red sea bream (tai), a nod to the Japanese phrase "medetai," meaning happiness and celebration. It's a clever bit of wordplay that Japanese New Year decorations love to lean on, turning a simple figure into a wish for joy in the year ahead.

In Japan, displaying zodiac ornaments for the New Year is a long-held tradition, meant to invite luck, harmony, and prosperity into the home. This brand new piece brings that same festive charm to any shelf, entryway, or collection, a small but meaningful way to welcome 2027 with warmth and good cheer.
