Okiagari-Koboshi literally means small priest standing. It is a traditional Japanese culbuto made of papier mache and designed in such a way to always return to the vertical position when tilted on the side. It symbolizes perseverance and resistance to adversity, echoing the Japanese proverb: "Seven times on the ground, eight times standing". Tradition has it that we buy a culbuto for each member of the family plus one, in the hope that the family grows in the year. Find the different Culbuto Okiagari. The Kuebiko scarecrow is aware even if it cannot move. He would even be omniscient because he spends his whole life outside. In Japanese Shintoic mythology, it is a deity that represents agriculture, knowledge and wisdom.
