About the Item
Japanese, circa 1800.
This stunning Japanese armor shield mounted to a museum quality iron stand - circa 1800 is a remarkable piece of historical craftsmanship, featuring a metal construction adorned with red lacquer backing (likely had it across the front surface also) and bird impression motifs. The shield's design is both functional and decorative, showcasing the artistry and cultural significance of Japanese martial traditions. The bird motifs, symbolize freedom and strength, adding a layer of meaning to this exquisite piece accented by Japanese markings. The shield is believed to originate from the Hachiman Temple, a significant site dedicated to Hachiman, the Shinto god of war and warriors.
Provenance:
Originally Purchased from the
Daniel Brooks Gallery, 1082 Madison Avenue, New York City in 1976.
Described by the gallery as:
Japanese Metal Shield, Ca, 1800. Shield to be made by a Miochin Armorer; dedicated to the Hachiman temple, red lacquer backing.
(Original Tag Receipt will be included)
Armor shields like this one were an integral part of a samurai's equipment, providing protection in battle while also serving as a symbol of their status and artistic sensibilities. The use of lacquer in Japanese armor not only enhanced the durability of the pieces but also allowed for intricate decorative work. The association with the Hachiman Temple further elevates this shield's historical and cultural importance, as the temple played a vital role in the spiritual and martial life of samurai.
