Japanese Hariko Tiger | Hand-Painted Washi Papier-Mâché | Folk-Craft Ornament for Good Fortune and Protection from Evil

The Japanese hariko tiger is one of the representative works of traditional Japanese folk craft. Made by hand using the washi papier-mâché (hariko) technique and finished with vivid painting, it fully expresses the simple beauty of Japanese regional crafts and their culture of auspicious symbols. The hariko tiger dates back to the Edo period, when it was first made as an auspicious ornament for blessings and for warding off evil. It is often seen in traditional customs such as the Tango no Sekku festival, Boys' Day and celebrations for newborns, symbolizing healthy growth, courage and resilience, peace and good fortune, and the protection of the home. This piece is shown in a tense crouching pose, mouth wide open and tail raised high, with hand-painted black stripes, a bright red mouth and an exaggerated expression, giving it the strong character of Japanese rustic folk art. The whiskers are made of natural material, adding vitality and collectable charm; it is a work of Japanese folk art combining cultural value with striking visual impact. (Ears damaged)

Vintage Japanese Teapot-Shaped Art Trivet

This vintage Japanese art trivet takes the classic outline of a teapot as its design theme, combining a sturdy cast-iron frame with inset coloured glass to create a household piece that is both practical and artistic. The teapot symbolizes warmth, gathering together and hospitality; with its motif of flowers in full bloom and vivid red, green and amber glass, it shows soft, layered shifts of colour when light falls on it, full of vintage charm. Even when not used as a trivet, it is an ornament well worth looking at. Blending the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship with European country style, it suits collectors who love antiques, aesthetic living and distinctive home décor.

Shōwa-period Ittōbori Carved Wood Daruma Figure, Japan

A handmade wooden Daruma figure from Japan's Shōwa period, carved using the traditional Japanese ittōbori (single-knife carving) technique. Made from natural wood, it keeps the warm grain and aged colour of the wood itself; the craftsman's skilled knife-work renders Daruma's piercing eyes, his resolute and composed expression, and forceful facial features. Daruma derives from Bodhidharma, founder of Zen Buddhism, and in Japanese culture is regarded as a symbol of perseverance, determination, success and the fulfilment of wishes. Since the Edo period, Daruma has become one of the most representative good-luck charms in Japanese folk culture, widely associated with wishes for prosperous business, passing exams, career success and achieving life goals. This is not an ordinary mass-produced craft item but was carved cut by cut using traditional woodcarving techniques; from the eyes and bridge of the nose to the lines of the mouth, it is full of the craftsman's warmth, displaying a strong Shōwa-period folk-craft style and the character of Japanese woodcarving.

Shōwa-period Set of Ten Hand-Painted Wooden Daruma by the Master Craftsman “Daruma Jisshū”, Japan

This is a highly representative Daruma-themed collector's work from Japan's Shōwa period, created by the Japanese master craftsman “Daruma Jisshū.” The set of ten wooden Daruma figures, each with a different spirit, is preserved complete and comes with its original wooden glass-fronted display case. In Japanese culture, Daruma (だるま) symbolizes perseverance, good fortune, business success and the fulfilment of wishes, and is one of Japan's most representative good-luck charms. Japanese people often dedicate a Daruma at New Year, when opening a business, and for exams, elections and other important life goals, praying for their wishes to come true. The defining feature of this set is that it brings together ten Daruma with different expressions and moods; each is hand-painted on natural wood, retaining the wood grain and the craftsman's brushstrokes and showing the unique charm of Shōwa-period Japanese folk craft.

Shōwa-period Shishi Guardian Beast Flower Stand, Japan

A large flower stand in the form of a shishi guardian beast, made in Japan's Shōwa period and modelled on the traditional Japanese mythical beast, the shishi (as in the shishimai lion dance and the shishigashira lion head). It is painted all over in vivid vermilion, with a golden mane and a black back; the strong colour contrast gives it great visual impact. In Japanese folk belief the shishi symbolizes warding off evil and misfortune, guarding the home and inviting blessings and good fortune; since ancient times it has been widely used in shrine festivals, traditional performing arts, good-luck displays in shops and the decoration of large residences. This piece shows the shishi in a crouching pose, its four legs steady and strong, its expression dignified yet with a touch of humour and liveliness, fully showing the character and appeal of Shōwa-era folk craft.

Lacquered Wooden Tengu Mask, Japan

This Japanese tengu mask of lacquered wood is a work of art with a very strong presence and religious craft character, of the kind kept to guard and protect a space. In traditional Japanese belief the tengu is regarded as an embodiment of the divine power of the mountains and forests, possessed of supernatural powers — a spirit that guards the wilds. Masks of this kind are used not only in festivals and Noh performances; because of their strong associations with “protection” and “warding off evil,” they became an indispensable talisman for peace and safety in Japanese homes and shops.
