Takeda no Hime-daruma
The 'Hime-daruna' is a traditional lucky charm passed down in Takeda. Sweets shaped like this lovely figure are beloved as souvenirs. Originating from the era of the Oka Clan approximately 360 years ago, the Hime-daruma is a local folk toy. It is said to be modeled after Ayame, a woman of the samurai class, and was traditionally distributed to the eaves of merchant houses on New Year's mornings as an amulet for family safety and business prosperity. Its features include elegant, slender eyes and a small, vermilion-painted mouth, exuding a refined and graceful appearance. These sweets, mimicking the Hime-daruma, are round and cute, making them perfect for gifts. They are auspicious treats infused with Takeda's rich culture and the prayers of people wishing for happiness.
