This delightful facial expression is the reason for our acquisition of this Ebisu doll. While Daikoku and Ebisu dolls are often paired and displayed, "single" Ebisu dolls are much harder to find. Ebisu is one of the Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin) and is symbolized as the god of prosperity and abundance. This doll is a nice size (12.5" tall) and as you see in the images, it is constructed in a more "refined" (or precise) manner than many other clay dolls. The interior (the ...click for details

This Japanese sake-bukuro bag has very attractive mendings and aged patinas as the images show. The bag is made from cotton canvas and it was dyed with persimmon juice to enhance its strength. The frugal beauty is certainly manifested on this fabric. One side of the bag is tone due to the age and use. Ca. Early to mid 1900s. Dimensions: 8.5" wide by 29" Please also visit our website: www.ichoya.com Thank you.

An everyday textile like this always makes people like myself smile with the warmest feeling. This kaya fabric is made from hemp linen and dyed in indigo blue/green, with very rich and rustic hues. The rustic shades on this fabric have added indescribable beauty across the time and a small mending patch, which is shown in one of the images, reflects the era in which frugality was an everyday norm. Ca. Early 1900s. Dimensions: 13 1/4" wide 84" long. Please also visit our main webs ...click for details

This warm appearance wooden bowl is truly a Japanese folk art. The shape of the "boat" possesses a simple beauty with geometric textures from its hand carving. The wood is assumed to be Japanese sugi, cryptomeria, which is covered with dark reddish lacquer finish. The piece has been well used and it has added attractive patinas. A very functional piece. Ca. Early to mid 1900s. Dimensions: 10 3/4"w 7"d 3"h
