Taishō-era style lacquered gong with ornate stand and original beater
This striking antique Japanese gong stand features a vermilion-red frame with gently scrolling kamakura-style ends, edged in worn gilt that speaks to decades of use and careful handling. The black metal gong hangs from a simple hemp cord, its softly domed center designed to produce a clear, resonant tone when struck with the accompanying beater.
Decorative brass applique, carved apron details, and shaped bracket feet evoke Taishō-period taste for theatrical yet refined presentation, making this piece ideal as a tokonoma accent or a focal point in a modern interior. Whether used ceremonially, as a functional desk or door gong, or purely as sculptural décor, it brings an unmistakable sense of Japanese temple and theater tradition into the home.
A characterful Taishō-style gong that adds both visual drama and authentic Japanese ambiance to any space.
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.
