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)

Japanese Lacquer Display Stand | Curved Design | Display for a Japanese-Style Tea Setting

Tea utensils. This Japanese-style lacquer display stand pairs an elegant, flowing curved design with a deep-brown high-gloss lacquer finish, expressing both the understated beauty unique to Japanese lacquer craft and a modern design vocabulary. The form is simple and generous, free of superfluous decoration; through its streamlined curves and mirror-like lacquer surface it sets off the objects displayed on it, embodying the principles of “empty space” and “balance” in Japanese aesthetics. The stand has an arched, bridge-like structure, with naturally curling curved bases at each side that not only improve its stability but also make the stand itself resemble a piece of sculpture. Whether used for a tea setting, as a base for a flower vase, to display bonsai or to show antiques from a collection, it adds depth and a visual focal point to a space. Combining function and artistry, it is a fine display piece of a kind rarely found for Japanese-style interiors and collection displays.

Japanese Blue-and-White Porcelain Plaque with Calligraphy | Nanakorobi Yaoki · Daruma | Hanging-Scroll-Style Ceramic Plaque

This Japanese blue-and-white porcelain plaque combines a traditional sometsuke (blue-and-white) ceramic plaque with the art of calligraphy. Mounted in the manner of a hanging scroll, it fully expresses the fusion of Japanese Zen culture, tea ceremony aesthetics and the art of painting and calligraphy. At the centre of the plaque the phrase “Nanakorobi yaoki” is brushed in blue, with an image of the patriarch Daruma (Bodhidharma) below. Rendered entirely in blue and white, the brushwork is bold and fluid, carrying a rich Eastern artistic character. The surround is mounted in hanging-scroll style, combining the qualities of both calligraphy and ceramics and giving the work added depth and collecting value. “Nanakorobi yaoki” comes from the Japanese saying 七転び八起き, meaning “fall down seven times, stand up eight,” and symbolizes never giving up, persevering to the end and growing stronger through setbacks. Paired with Daruma, a symbol of perseverance and the Zen mind, the work carries deep cultural meaning and an inspiring spirit.
