Japanese Antique Wood Carving Large Penis 1800s-1860s / Sculpture Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This is an old carved large wooden penis statue made in Japan. It was made during the Edo period (1800s-1860s) and is made of cedar. In the Tōhoku region of Japan, there has long been a custom of worshipping the phallic penis, and wooden carvings like this one were made as a symbol of wishes for fertility, prosperity of offspring, and a good harvest. These statues, especially those seen at shrines and village festivals, are objects of people's prayers and faith, and are deeply rooted in local culture. The wood carved statues have been placed near the hearth for many years, and their surfaces are covered with soot, giving them a distinctive black smoky tint. These natural changes over time give the statue a depth and flavor that cannot be reproduced artificially. Because the pieces are hand-carved, the details still have rugged and powerful carving marks, showing the simple yet sincere thoughts of the makers. This is more than just a piece of folk art; it is a piece with a quiet and powerful presence, imbued with the spirit of Wabi-Sabi. Just by placing it in your space, it will become a special object that reminds you of traditional Japanese culture and the passage of time in nature. Weight: 3.5kg ______________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
