About the Item

Nicely made artifact/Okimono of a Rat. In bronze with brown patina, representing a rat. Okimono (置物, oki-mono) is a Japanese term meaning "ornament for display; objet d'art; decorative object", typically displayed in a tokonoma alcove or butsudan altar. Rats symbolizes good luck and "plenty", because if one has rats, that means there is enough stored grains around in the house to have them. In the Zodiac Compass the rat represents North, which is also the first year in the cycle.
