NNescio almost 4 years ago [hidden] Other auspicious 'readings' of the hidariuma:Horses are believed to fall towards the right. So a left-facing horse will "never fall". People "take horses". So a reversed horse "brings people" (to visit a business).The bottom part of the reversed horse looks like a money pouch. 0 Reply Copy ID Copy Link
A left-facing uma can be read as mau, that is, ritual dancing during celebrations. So it can be considered an auspicious good luck charm.
Oh, that's a hidariuma. A "left horse", facing backwards. Basically 馬, the kanji for "uma", but mirrored backwards. And with 2 legs instead of 4.
