About the Item
This is a phallic statue made of natural wood produced in Japan.
It is estimated to have been created during the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s), and is made of richly textured pine wood.
In Japan, the phallic root is a symbol of fertility, prosperity of offspring, and protection from bad luck, and has long been an object of worship in many places.
Phallic statues and votive offerings are often seen in shrines and at festivals.
People have found power in these symbols and sublimated them into a form of prayer as they lived in harmony with nature.
The realism of this work is astonishing, as it retains such a natural appearance that at first glance one cannot detect any artificial handiwork.
The smoothness of the surface, the flow of the grain, and even the natural growth of the branches are completed as an accidental beauty, so much so that it is difficult to determine how much of the work was done by human hands.
It should be noted that the tip of the tree has a small hole reminiscent of a urethra. Whether this is accidental or not, or whether it is the intention of the creator, is a matter of judgment, but it is definitely one of the main attractions of this work. It is not merely a folk artifact, but a cross between nature, faith, and artistry.
These natural wood phallic statues are extremely rare and rarely appear on the market today. As a one-of-a-kind fusion of artifice and nature, they have a presence that cannot be replaced.
This piece, which encompasses folk beliefs, natural forms, and the perspective of art, will have special significance in collections, exhibitions, and spatial presentation.

Our Philosophy
Objects always tell the truth.
All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give
them deep affection as much as I can.
There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty.
But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it
will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing
today and to question us about an essence of beauty again.
I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have,
feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
