Description

This charming Japanese frog carving, made from sugi wood with a smoke finish, dates back to the 1950s and carries both artistic and symbolic significance. In Japanese culture, frogs—known as kaeru (which also means “return” in Japanese)—are powerful symbols of safe travel and protection. Placing a frog by the entrance of a home is a traditional practice believed to bring good fortune and ensure that loved ones return safely.

This vintage carving showcases the natural beauty of sugi wood, Japan’s beloved cedar, with its smoke finish giving it a rustic, time-worn patina. The craftsmanship of the piece reflects the Japanese appreciation for nature and simplicity. Whether placed at the doorway for its protective charm or in a garden as an eye-catching accent, this delightful frog adds a touch of warmth and cultural depth to any space. A wonderful addition for collectors of Japanese folk art or those seeking a meaningful, decorative piece for the home.
