Japanese Antique Wooden hand-carved Jizai Kagi (自在鉤) fish hearth pot holder

Description: Thank you for coming! 【Product Description】This Japanese antique wooden adjustable hook, dating back to around the Meiji period, is a precious item. The adjustable hook, typically used for hanging pots over a hearth, features motifs often depicting fish. The prevalence of fish motifs is attributed to their symbolic significance; fish, being creatures associated with water, were believed to ward off fires. Additionally, since fish do not have eyelids and are perceived as always awake, they symbolize vigilance against letting the fire die out or causing accidental fires by neglect. This particular adjustable hook serves not only as a magnificent sculpture but also allows one to immerse in the ambiance of traditional Japanese aesthetics. Standing at a height of 28cm, with a length of 43cm, a thickness of 12cm, and weighing 3kg, it is a substantial piece. It promises to be a captivating addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. 【About Shipping】We ship worldwide by Fedex or Japan post.
