Antique Japanese wooden crane figurine / 20th century / wood carving
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This wooden crane figurine was crafted in Japan in the late 20th century. The artist utilized the natural shape of the wood, particularly the roots, to carve the crane's body. The base is carved from a knot, and its powerful, organic contours convey the base's sense of life. This piece elevates nature's natural form to the crane with minimal modification.
Cranes have long been considered symbols of longevity and good fortune, and have been used in wedding and New Year's decorations. The idea of emanating the crane's shape from the roots of a tree seems to reflect the Japanese view of nature and their cherishing the "signs of things." The slender legs simply slide into the base, allowing for easy disassembly. This figurine is easy to transport and store, making it a convenient display piece.
Weighing just 0.75 kg, it can be easily placed anywhere. It enhances the traditional atmosphere when placed in a Japanese-style alcove, or in front of a modern white-walled space or exposed concrete wall, the contrast of the materials creates a striking art piece. Placing it on a windowsill, entryway shelf...

Very old Japanese teapot-shaped pottery "Koseto" / 1200s / Excavated pottery
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is Seto ware.
Seto is a kiln with a long history located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan (Seto kilns are marked with red circles on the map). It is said to have originated around the 13th century.
In Japan, items from this period of Seto ware are referred to as "Ko-Seto." "Ko" means "old."
This particular item is Ko-Seto, which was fired around the 13th century.
One of the distinguishing features of Ko-Seto, as compared to other kilns, is the presence of glaze. While other kilns produced mostly unglazed pottery, Ko-Seto was covered with ash glaze, giving it a yellowish-green or pale emerald-green color.
In the early Kamakura period (13th century), when Ko-Seto production began, there was increased demand from temples in Kamakura (the capital city of the time, in present-day Kanagawa Prefecture) and the Tokai region for roof tiles, Buddhist ritual objects, and burial urns...

This is a stone carved in the image of an old Japanese male genitalia.
There is a possibility that it was a natural stone that had been carved by the running water of a river for a long time, but it is more likely that it was carved artificially.
In Japan, objects in the shape of male and female genitalia have been made for a long time. The materials used are stone and wood.
In the case of stone, some are made from 3,000 yen to 4,000 years ago.
At that time, it was used in ceremonies to pray for the prosperity of descendants.
In the case of this stone, it was probably dedicated to shrines and village shrines in hopes of prosperity of descendants.
This stone is believed to be from before the Edo period.
Because two types of rocks are mixed, the color contrast is beautiful.
