mikuji hato みくじ鳩 dove with a fortune-telling lot
At Usa Hachimangu 宇佐八幡 / Shrine Usa Jinja 宇佐神社 a white clay dove was given as a present to people with good luck at their mikuji. Now it has become a well-loved clay doll.
They have been made in Isobe Ouson 磯辺鴎村, like the auspicious lions, see above.
They are about 7 cm long and 6 cm high.
They were first made by 溝口興四郎, a papermachee-doll maker. At the breast of the dove there stuck a paper with the inscription 県指定宇佐神社みくじ鳩 (Official dove sacred lot from Usa Shrine). When the paper was torn away, the mikuji paper could be taken out of an opening in the dove's breast.
After the war, these doves were made in Isobe Ouson 磯辺鴎村 as clay dolls. But when their maker was no longer able to produce them for the shrine, this custom died out.
To revive it, 豊泉堂 Bunsendo begun to make them again as souvenirs.
