"Former Daikokuten From The Meiji Era"
This Meiji-era figurine is a remarkable work in Hariko (traditional Japanese papier-mâché). Despite its robust, deity-like appearance, it surprises with its airy lightness. Depicting a protective figure with expressive features, it is coated with oyster powder and hand-painted. This type of object, though fragile, served as a household talisman to attract good fortune. Its scars bear witness to a century of history, making this object an authentic relic of Japanese folk art.
