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 This is probably a duck figurine that was originally made as a decoy.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.]

Rare Japanese antique wooden god statue /12th century/small wabi-sabi figurines

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

I was able to obtain a very rare item. This is a sculpture of the god ``Shinzo''. "Shin" = God "zo" = statue Since ancient times in Japan, it has been believed that gods reside in all things in the universe, and there have been many shrines. In the 6th century, Buddhism was introduced and gradually spread throughout Japan. Around the 8th century, the idea that gods follow the teachings of Buddha spread. Until the Edo period, God and Buddha became one and the idea of ``Shinto and Buddhism syncretism'' was established. This statue was created during such a history. Originally, the image of God was invisible and could not be understood as something tangible. However, with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, idol worship was also introduced, and the idea that the gods follow the teachings of Buddha was also propagated at the same time in order to spread the teachings of Buddhism. Around that time, around the 9th century, the first statues of gods...
