Large Japanese Meiji Period Open Bronze Censor

About the Item

This cast bronze censor is from Japan and was made circa 1880. Raised up on three legs which issue from demons mouths the container is cast with reliefs of sparrows in flight in a foliated and wooded landscape.

Because of its verticality, the piece has a great impact and presence while not being too large around.
