Vintage Japanese | Kyōto Fushimi Clay Doll of a Decorated Horse (Kazari-uma)

This vintage Japanese kazari-uma (decorated horse) clay doll takes a white horse as its main form, dressed in a vivid vermilion caparison with blue edging, with a black mane and saddle fittings with a gilt effect; the colors are highly characteristic of traditional Japanese folk toys. Compared with horse sculptures that aim at realistic proportions, the charm of Fushimi dolls leans toward being “rustic, auspicious and endearing.” The horse's proportions are slightly exaggerated, its outline simple and solid, and its face has a somewhat childlike expression, which gives the piece more of the warmth of handmade folk art. The most eye-catching part is the saddle and tack on its back. The large areas of gold decoration show natural wear from the years, and together with the traditional vermilion, blue and black, the piece has a festive feel while retaining the historical character a vintage piece should have.

Vintage Japanese | Carved Wooden Replica of the Gigaku Mask “Taikofu”

Gigaku is one of Japan's important ancient masked dance-dramas. It was introduced from the continent in the Asuka period and was widely performed at temple ceremonies in the Nara period. The gigaku masks that survive in the Hōryū-ji and Shōsō-in lineages are important artifacts for the study of ancient Japanese mask art; the Hōryū-ji Treasures held by the Tokyo National Museum include the National Treasure “Taikofu” mask. Taikofu represents an elderly man; traditional examples usually show deep wrinkles, a long nose, a smiling mouth and the face of an old man. Official sources also note that some Taikofu masks have holes for inserted hair at the brows, below the nose and on the chin, where long beards may originally have been attached. The features of this piece are very distinctive: a high forehead, extensive deep wrinkles, narrow eye openings, a prominent nose bridge, a slightly upturned smiling mouth and clearly carved facial contours, carrying the foreign-figure quality and dramatic tension characteristic of ancient gigaku masks.

Vintage Japanese | Large Ceramic Tanuki Holding a Sake Bottle

This vintage Japanese ceramic tanuki ornament is a quite typical auspicious object of Japanese folk art. The tanuki has a round, plump form and a genial, endearing expression, with a full belly and wide-open eyes; it holds a large sake bottle in one arm and wears a red decorative knot on its head, full of the atmosphere of Japanese popular culture and of the good-luck charms of shops. In Japanese folk culture, the tanuki (たぬき) is often seen as an auspicious symbol that brings good luck, fortune, wealth and thriving business, which is why tanuki figures are so often seen at the entrances of traditional izakaya, Japanese restaurants, inns and shops. This piece stands about 37 cm high, making it a large ceramic tanuki with a noticeable presence. Whether placed at a shop entrance, beside a counter, in an entryway or in a display cabinet, it easily becomes a focal point.

Vintage Japanese | Painted Wooden Tengu Mask with Inserted Hair | Wall-Hanging Folk-Art Mask

This vintage Japanese painted wooden mask takes the highly recognizable tengu as its subject. Its form is exaggerated and forceful: thick black brows, wide-open eyes, a heavy nose bridge and an open mouth baring its teeth together create a strong Japanese folk-art feeling. Unlike the common red-faced, long-nosed tengu, this piece is closer in visual vocabulary to karasu-tengu / tengu-type folk-art masks. The face has a cream-yellow base, hand-painted in black, red and ochre, with real inserted hair that gives the mask more dimension and vitality. It does not aim at delicate realism but emphasizes “presence, expression and symbolism,” which is the most fascinating aspect of Japanese folk-art masks. Whether as a wall hanging, a protective ornament for an entryway, shop decoration, or simply as a collectible piece of Japanese regional folk art, this piece has a very strong presence.

Japanese Carved and Lacquered Wooden Noh Mask

This Japanese carved and lacquered wooden Noh mask depicts a traditional female character, with a soft, dignified and slightly mysterious face. The face is finished in ivory-white to pale cream tones, the brows and eyes outlined with fine black lines, and vermilion added to the eyelids and lips, giving the understated base a subtle layering. The hairline is painted in black, with red cord ties at either side; the proportions are simple yet highly recognizable as traditional Japanese theatrical art. The greatest charm of a Noh mask often lies not in an exaggerated expression but in “one face that shows different emotions as the angle and light change.” (There is a small chip on the back.) Viewed from the front it may seem calm and faintly smiling; seen slightly from below it may show more joy; viewed from above it may appear composed or even tinged with sorrow. This ambiguous, ever-changing expression is one of the most representative artistic features of Japanese Noh masks.

Vintage Japanese | Crab-Shaped Carved Wooden Tray | Ashtray, Large Crab Carving

This vintage Japanese crab-shaped carved wooden tray is a woodcraft piece with a very distinctive form and a strong hand-carved feel. The subject is a crab; the central shell, claws, legs and body outline are all carved directly from the wood. A recess is kept in the center for holding things, so it can be used as an ashtray, for small items, as a tea-setting utensil or as a tabletop ornament, making it not just a wood carving for viewing but also quite practical. The surface retains natural wood tones of alternating dark brown and reddish brown, with clear grain; together with the shadows and sheen created by the carving, the crab looks more three-dimensional. The legs and claws extend outward with strong visual tension, and it readily becomes a focal point on a table. Compared with ordinary geometric wooden ashtrays or trays, the greatest feature of this piece is that “the sculpture itself is the vessel.” It can be admired as wood carving and also put to real use, combining playfulness, folk-craft character and collectible value.

Large African Tribal Wood Carving of a Figure | Tall Black Standing Figure

This large African tribal wood carving of a figure, with its elongated human form, deep black wooden surface and highly recognizable tribal style, is an exotic art piece well suited to serve as the visual centerpiece of a space. The figure stands upright, its body lean and its limbs deliberately elongated, the face simple in outline yet strongly sculptural. Slender decorative lines can be seen on the head and beside the ears, and a wrapped garment texture is carved at the waist, so that within its minimal silhouette the piece still retains features of traditional dress and of the figure. The surface is predominantly deep black, visually calm and powerful, and blends easily into modern interiors. Compared with richly colored ethnic crafts, this piece leans more toward a “sculptural art object,” so it suits not only collectors who love other cultures but also modern homes, art spaces, guesthouses and commercial interiors.

Maruni Classical Armchair with Woven Floral Upholstery, Japan

This armchair was made by the long-established Japanese furniture maker Maruni (マルニ木工) and retains its original “maruni HIROSHIMA, JAPAN” maker's plate; it is a vintage piece combining Japanese woodworking quality with the aesthetics of classical European furniture. Founded in Hiroshima, Maruni is one of the most representative furniture brands in the development of modern Japanese furniture. Its work has long excelled in wood processing, curved forms and European furniture styles, so many early Maruni pieces, even after many years, remain popular with lovers of old Japanese furniture and retro interiors. This armchair has a warm dark brown wooden frame, with the back and seat upholstered in a classical woven floral fabric of golden-brown tones on a deep blue ground. A large central flower is combined with scrolling foliage and vine patterns, an ornate design with a strong classical European feel.

Shōwa-Period Japanese Wooden Birdcage | Bamboo-Slatted Songbird Box / Rearing Cage Set

This Shōwa-style Japanese wooden birdcage / bamboo songbird box set has a frame of warm wood with a fine vertical bamboo-slat structure at the center, a metal carrying handle on top and metal corner guards reinforcing the four corners, presenting the very typical practical craft aesthetic of the Shōwa period. Compared with modern mass-produced plastic or metal birdcages, rearing equipment of wood and bamboo like this has more sense of daily life and of its era. It is not merely an animal-keeping item but also reflects the importance early Japanese households placed on materials, handmade construction and durability. The form is square and sturdy, the wood color natural, and the fine grille at the front has a strong Japanese feel; whether as an antique collectible, a decorative piece or a display of Shōwa daily-life culture, it has great character.
