Akabeko

Traditional papier-mâché Akabeko figures are crafted entirely by hand, with artisans carrying out every step of the process. The sheer number and intricacy of these steps have made the figures a rarity today. Yet, the image held by the artisans remains the same Akabeko that has existed since long ago. May the Akabeko continue to endure as an enduring symbol of Aizu .
