Vintage Japanese Horse Statue, 1970s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-261-1)

Graceful mid‑century Japanese horse sculpture in rich dark brown

This vintage Japanese horse statue captures the poised elegance of a trotting steed, its arched neck and lifted foreleg conveying both movement and dignity. Cast in a deep chocolate-brown tone with a softly lustrous surface, the figure reflects the Showa-era taste for streamlined, modern forms while still echoing traditional equestrian motifs seen in shrine ema and samurai culture.

Subtle modeling along the flanks, mane, and tail gives the piece a refined realism, making it an ideal focal point for a tokonoma alcove, study, or modern interior. Whether displayed alone or alongside other Showa-era objects, this horse brings a sense of strength, good fortune, and timeless Japanese craftsmanship to any collection.

A characterful Showa-era horse statue that adds movement, warmth, and Japanese vintage charm to your space.

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.
