About the Item

This is an old Japanese stone figurine in the shape of Jizo Bodhisattva. In Japan, there is a concept of Shinbutsu Shugo, which is the idea of merging gods and Buddhas. This statue is probably a representation of the rice field god. Rice field gods began to be carved around the Edo period in hopes of a good harvest. In the mid-Edo period, around the 1700s, small ones also began to be carved, and many of them were carved by farmers using simple carving techniques. The rice field gods come in a variety of shapes, but what they all have in common is that they often wear a triangular umbrella on their head and hold a rice scoop, straw, or gourd in their hands. (Also, a similar item was featured in an art book, so I've included a photo of it as a reference.) Some of them are carved in the style of a Buddha statue. Due to these conditions, although this statue has the form of a Jizo Bodhisattva Buddhist statue, it holds two rice scoop-like objects in its hands. For this reason, it is thought to be the god of rice fields. The simple, cute carving seems to express the farmers' honest desire for a good harvest in their rice fields. Why not add this fascinating figurine, which combines Japanese lifestyle, culture and religion, to your collection? An item that lets you feel the history of Japan. Recommended. Weight: 2.3 kg [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. ]
