Japanese bamboo sculpture of a seated toad realised in the rhizome

About the Item

Bamboo sitting toad. The node of the wood is used as the base of the statuette. The toad and the frog, referred to by the same term in Japanese (kaeru) are associated with good luck and wealth. Kaeru means both "toad" and "coming home" in Japanese. This extension of meaning is due to the ability of the toad to return to the pond of its birth every year. A gong in the shape of a toad can thus sometimes be used as a door hammer or to protect a house. Japan - Taishô Era (1912-1926) Height: 6.7 in. (17 cm) - width: 5 in. (12.7 cm) - depth: 4.7 in.
