Asakusa Tori no Ichi fair: A typical kumade -if a kumade can ever be "typical". Basically, a bamboo rake (to "rake in" good fortune) decorated with various Japanese symbols for good luck: bales of rice, carp fish, golden coins from the Edo period (1603-1868), portable shrines, branches of pine and cherry trees, cranes and the plump white face of Otafuku a female mythic character associated with good fortune, longeivity and happiness.
