@Nakano city in Nagano pref. is famous as a home town of clay dolls.
There is Nakano clay dolls musuem, and you can find many kinds of clay dolls such as Tenjin, Shichifukujin (Seven Deities of Good Fortune), animals, etc.



Zenkouji is one of the famous temples in Japan, and they say "Please come and pray Zenkouji at least once in your life even if you live far from Zenkouji." As there is one more ideom "We will be pulled by a cow to attend the Zenkouji temple." , there are many cow-shaped clay bells.
