This charming pair of Japanese Daikokuten & Ebisu wooden figures possesses an attractive patina of the history they own. These figures are considered as two of seven Lucky Gods, shichifuku-jin, in Japan. Daikoku generally is believed to be a god of farmers, wealth, commerce, and so forth, while Ebisu symbolizes luck, ocean, and fishermen. As you see in the images here Daikoku typically stands on two bales of rice holding his magic mallet and a treasure suck on the shoulder. Ebisu, on the ...click for details

One of the most loved “bucket.” This type of wooden bucket was used by rice shops for measuring rice. The full bucket measures ‘ittoh’ which is approximately 15 kilogram or 18 litter. The bucket is reinforced by rustic iron trims and the trims also define the beauty of the shape. There are a pair of handles on both sides and an inscription of ‘Kyoto’ on the side. This type of bucket is frequently used to hold magazines or as a small side table by adding a round glass top. It is truly a love ...click for details

This square wooden container was used to measure grains in Japan. This particular piece was to measure one ‘sho’, which is approximately 1.5 kilogram. The measurer is made from Japanese cedar, ‘sugi’, and is beautifully crafted with iron edges. The vertical reinforcement by iron is applied alternatively on each corner and the top of the measurer is entirely defined by iron too. On the sides there are a logo, a circled ‘kyo’, which was probably the logo of the grain shop, possibly in Kyoto. Oth ...click for details

This Japanese noodle shop sign, kanban, is assumed to be from the mid Showa era (1926-1989). The kanban is made from beautiful keyaki zelkova wood and has well used patina. One side of the sign says 'teuchi-udon', which means home-made udon noodle, and the reverse side also shows the same phrase with a curved design of a bowl of noodles being lifted up by a pair of chopsticks.
We found this piece in Osaka and assumed to be from a neighbor area of the Kansai region, which is famous for ...click for details
