本年の干支は馬です。 干支は世界中にあるようですが、ぜひ「まかなん」の馬の世界を感じてください。
まず、玄関の額はインド土産です。いただいたときに説明はなかったのですが、馬の絵は、力強さ、速さ、進歩、繁栄を象徴していると言われました。私は、お釈迦さまの愛馬「カンタカ」と信じています。おしゃかさまが出家するとき、この白馬はたいそう別れを悲しみました。お釈迦様がなだめ、カンタカは城に戻るのですが、絶食死して、その後バラモンに生まれ変わり、お釈迦様の弟子になったそうです。
室内に入ると、藁人形とチャグチャグ馬こが並びます。関西では、あまり馴染みがないのですが、東北では、馬は家族同様に愛されていました。

東日本大震災では、相馬野馬追の人や馬の多くが命を落とし被災しました。今、祭が復活してほんとうに良かったです。
こちらの絵は男の子の節句「八朔馬」。
CAMICA １５年前の設立にいただいた。飛騨絵馬
最後は沖縄の「ちんちん馬」の絵です。
馬は、前を向き、歩む、走る！
私達も、みなで１年を全力疾走します！どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

This year 2026 is the Year of the Horse and the significance of the zodiac can be witnessed globally. Therefore we at Makanan would like you to experience the world of horses through different artifacts.
The first artifact to be introduced is the painting located at the entrance which is of Indian origin. Although there was so no explanation given when it was acquired, it was said that they symbolized strength, speed, progress, and prosperity. I also believe that it symbolizes Kantanka, the beloved horse of Shakyamuni (Gautama Buddha). When Shakyamuni undertook path to enlightenment, he had bid an emotional adieu to his white horse. It was further believed that despite returning to the palace, the horse undertook reincarnation as a saint and had become a devotee of Shakyamuni.
As we enter inside, straw dolls and "Chaguchagu" Umakko dolls can be seen lined up. Although unfamiliar in other places, it is believed that these horses were beloved and cherished as family members in the Tohoku region.

During the devastating Tohoku Earthquake in 2011, several members and horses of Soma Nomaoi festival had tragically lost their lives. Yet, its wonderful to see the revival of the festival in the present day.
