“Keep Things in Balance”
Yajirobe was, and still is, a popular balancing toy first introduces in the Edo period. It was named after a character in the bestselling novel, “Tokai-Dochu Hizakurige.” The vendor selling Yajirobe often walked as if they are trying to balance themselves while singing, “I maybe old but I’m still fine. Shan-to-koi, shan-to-koi.”
