About the Item

I would like to introduce an old Japanese figurine covered with paper. This is probably a duck figurine that was originally made as a decoy. Decoys are not only found in Northern Europe, but also in Japan and Korea. This decoy has washi paper pasted on it. There are some kanji characters written above the head. I don't know why the washi paper is pasted on it, but by hiding the carvings, eyes, and feathers, it has turned into an abstract work with only a silhouette. Still, the wabi-sabi atmosphere of this washi paper is attractive and I think it is very beautiful. It is small in size and can be displayed on a shelf as a figurine. There are no major defects. It is in good condition. Weight: 0.45 kg [We mainly sell old Japanese items. We've seen tens of thousands of items so far. Taking advantage of that experience, we are posting attractive items here. We are able to do this because we have many years of experience. There are parts of Japan that are familiar to Japanese people but are still unknown to the rest of the world. We will continue to offer products that will allow you to fully experience this feeling.]

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...
