Japanese Inari Fox Fire Shinto Shrine Temple Edo Period Taiko Drum on Stand
About the Item
This is a truly wonderful and rather unique piece. We can't find another quite like it.
We were told it is from an Edo period Shinto Shrine dedicated to the deity Inari - a popular deity associated with foxes who were known for protecting the annual rice harvest from threatening vermin. In Japanese mythology, foxes are supposed to breathe out flames which are represented by the flame motif at the top of the drum stand.
The drum is gilt-decorated and the stand made of painted and lacquered wood. It can be disassembled into three parts making it easier to transport.
Would be a fantastic addition to any Asian or Japanese art or artifacts collection of a very eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Rare and quite special.
Approximate dimensions: 48" high, 24" wide, 24" deep.
Drum: 17" diameter.
