Year of the Sheep Zodiac Dolls Now Available!
Starting Thursday, October 1st, we have begun selling our 2027 Year of the Sheep Kimekomi and Mascot dolls. Known for their gentle nature and tendency to stay close to one another, sheep are regarded as symbols of family bonds, peace, and harmony. Having long supported people's daily lives, sheep are cherished as bringers of abundance and fruitful harvests, and have traditionally been considered an auspicious animal that invites good fortune.
The character "祥" (shō), meaning "auspiciousness," even contains the character for sheep, reflecting how sheep have long symbolized good omens and happiness. The character "未" also carries wishes for the future and the possibilities that lie ahead.
As you welcome the New Year, please display one of our Year of the Sheep dolls, a symbol of happiness, in your home.
