Japanese antique wooden large penis / folk belief / 1868-1920

About the Item

This item is a giant wooden penis that was used in old Japanese houses from the late 19th century to the early 20th century (Meiji to Taisho eras). This item is very attractive as a tasteful interior that evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, and as a collector's item. This sculpture, created in the Tohoku region, including Iwate Prefecture, based on a folk belief wishing for the prosperity of descendants, is displayed in a high position inside the house, and over the years, it has undergone a unique and tasteful aging process. The texture of the wood, blackened with soot by the hearth, seems to reflect the Japanese aesthetic sense that deepens with the passage of time, and it is not just an object, but also reflects history and culture. Its heavy presence blends in mysteriously with not only Japanese spaces but also modern interiors. By displaying this in your room, you will be able to make the viewer feel the simple spirituality of the Japanese people. Please try incorporating this special item, which has a deep flavor that changes over time, into your space with a wabi-sabi spirit. This sculpture with unique beauty is a one-of-a-kind item that is just for you. Be sure to get this masterpiece that allows you to enjoy Japanese history and culture to the fullest. Please be careful as some of the soot may come off if you wipe it with a cloth. It can stand on its own, but it is a little wobbly, so if you want to stand it up, please attach a felt sheet or something to the bottom to stabilize it. It is quite rare to have such a large size, so it will be impressive when displayed. Size: Width 18cm Depth 18cm Height 118.8cm Weight: 13.05kg [We, Brood, are a company consisting of four different stores with four different brands. We offer a wide range of attractive items from all over the world with a focus on Japanese items. We offer Japanese antique furniture and tools that are different from the Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated abroad. These tools were used in private homes and farmhouses in the past. They have been passed through a long time and have an attractive taste. The reality is that many of these items are now being discarded along with the demolition of houses. We are on a mission to re-evaluate these fascinating old objects and preserve them for future generations. And we have seen tens of thousands of items so far. We have used that experience to list the most fascinating items here. We can do this because of our long experience. We will rediscover the "beauty" produced in the life and culture of the common people, which is different from the Japanese art and culture that is known and scattered around the world, and present it to the world. ]

Great Wood Carving Lion Figurine / 1868-1920 / Rare Item

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This looks like an old copperware, but it is a wood carving work. It is glossy because it is finished with black lacquer. It is a very delicate and beautiful sculpture. The expression of the lion is cool. Also, the sculpture on the tail is wonderful. It is thought that it was carved on wood such as Japanese cypress. The name of the engraver is also engraved. The name "Kichitaro" is engraved. I don't know the details of this person. There are also small cracks and defects. There is a loss in the lower part of his right ear and part of his tail. And there are lacquer cracks and wood cracks. This is an old one, so there is something like this. Also, in the case of Japanese and Chinese lions, a ball is attached to the left hand, but this is missing. However, it is a work that is quite impressive. It is a rare item...
