Japanese Antique Wooden Carved Ornaments

About the Item

This is a wooden figurine from the Taisho period. "Daikokuten" is a traditional Japanese guardian deity that symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. Daikokuten's distinctive appearance is with a bag or rice bale on his back, a large mallet (Uchide no Kozuchi) in his hand, and a gentle smile. This is considered a symbol of bestowing wealth and happiness. The warm texture of natural wood and the intricate carvings are attractive. The design will develop a rich luster and color over time, and will blend in with modern interiors. Simply place it in the kitchen, entrance, study, or living room to add a special atmosphere to any space. This is a masterpiece that evokes the beauty of good old Japan. Weight 11.3kg

This is an extremely valuable hand-carved wood sculpture of a Japanese serow.
