赤べこ (Red Cow) Akabeko are cow toys based on an Aizu legend that claims that these toys are based on a real cow that lived in the 9th century. The cow showed its devotion to Buddha by willing its soul away or by refusing to leave the site of a temple it had helped to construct. Over time, people believed that these toys could ward off smallpox and other illnesses.
