About the Item

I have received an interesting item, so I would like to introduce it to you. This is a small wooden tower named "Hyakuman-To-Darani". This small wooden pagoda is a temple ornament used to pray for national peace by putting sutras in it. The oldest one was made in the 8th century. At that time, 1,000,000 of these were made, and 100,000 were placed in each of the 10 temples. The sutra contained in it is famous as the oldest printed material in the world. Most of them have been burnt down or scattered somewhere. This ``Hyakumanto Darani'' is thought to have been created between the Meiji period and the early Showa period. After that, it is believed that this 'Hyakuman-To-Darani' was handed out to those who donated to temples during the Meiji and Showa periods (19th and early 20th centuries). The bottom is branded with the word "horin" temple. This is probably a temple brand in Nara Prefecture or Kyoto. It is made of cypress wood and has a very beautiful straight grain. You can tell that they are using good quality cedar wood. It consists of two parts, each carved using the potter's wheel. This manufacturing method is the same manufacturing method as the oldest one. Please understand that it is a very old item, although there are chipped and cracked adhesive marks. I think it's very tasty and cool. Although it is a rare item, I set the price at a reasonable price so that many people can know about Japanese antiques. How about decorating one in your room?

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...
