Antique Japanese Gong (SKU 25D-315-1)

Taishō-era style Japanese gong with richly carved phoenix and wave stand

This impressive antique Japanese gong is suspended within a lacquered wooden stand, lavishly highlighted in gilt. The hammered metal gong hangs from bright vermilion cords with silk tassels, while the stand is finished in a deep red that recalls temple furnishings and gagaku (court music) instruments. A boldly sculpted phoenix in flight crowns the frame, its feathers flowing into stylised waves that continue along the lower frieze.

The stand rests on scrolling feet with brass or bronze appliqués engraved in fine arabesques, giving the piece a regal, architectural presence even when silent. Ideal as a statement decorative object or for gentle ceremonial use, this gong brings the atmosphere of a Taishō-period shrine or theatre into a modern interior.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
