Japanese Primitives Antiques : Hearth Tools Fish-shaped wood Hook Farmer Life

About the Item

A tool used to hang a kettle from the ceiling above a hearth is called a Jizai-kagi(自在鉤). This is a part called a Yokogi(横木) that is used to adjust the length of the hook. It has been smoked for many years to create this look. A tool used in rural Japan. It can also be considered a Japanese primitive. The amateur carving adds depth to the flavor, and the beauty of the wood is captivating. Among them, I came across a particularly cute Yokogi. It makes you wonder how long it took to smoke it to this extent. The shape is also charming, making it a one-of-a-kind old folk art. Material: Wood *Soot may fall off and there are burnt areas on the main body
