Japanese Bronze Vase decorated with a Phoenix and paulownia leaves

About the Item

Patinated bronze vase decorated with a flying phenix and paulownia leaves. The phoenix has imperial and solar symbolism. This bird of good omen also embodies virtues from the teaching of Confucius (such as goodness, righteousness, and wisdom). Paulownia (kiri) is considered as a symbol of nobility, honor and longevity. Since the Edo era, there has been a tradition that paulownia is planted at the birth of a daughter to be used later as a material for making items that will be part of her dowry. Its wood is ideal for chests and kimono boxes, which are often key elements of a bride’s because its wood is light, durable and long-lasting resistant.

Japanese Bronze Kappa

Located in PARIS, FR

Dark brown patina bronze figure of a standing kappa with its right leg leaning on a cucumber. The figure is put on four-legged rattan-like bronze stand. The kappa (??) is a aquatic creature taken from Japanese folklore having the appearance of an anthropomorphic turtle. His skull is either slightly hollowed out to accommodate water, from which it derives its power, or hidden with a water lily leaf hiding this sag. Naturally polite, it is advisable to bow to him in order that it should do so in return, thus losing all the water he has gathered and leaving it harmless. Kappa has the reputation of attempting to lure both humans and animals into the water. In some areas, it ravages fields, stealing eggplants and cucumbers. Some people prefer to worship it and give it offerings rather than be its victims. Signed Shokaken (???). His real name is Ôshima Yasutarô. He was born in 1849 and is the third generation of a metalworkers family. Together with his brother Ôshima Joun...
