Thanks to your video I was motivated to learn more about the kumade. As it turns out, the kumade was originally a wide bamboo rake used for gathering the fall leaves. The tradition of decorating them with good luck charms and selling them at shrines to help “rake in” wealth, happiness and safety began in the Edo period. Frequently the kumade includes symbols of prosperity such as treasure chests, gold coins, and the Otafuku mask (the “Goddess of mirth") used in the Kyogen theater.

ONLY in JAPAN

I came for food, I left with a wealth of cultural knowledge! I’d seen Kumade before but I’m glad we all learned something new — and are a lot!
