Description

Vintage Japanese Taka Hawk Statue, Iron (SKU 25D-562)

Powerful mid-century tetsu okimono of a hawk poised on a rocky crag, symbolizing vigilance and success.

This vintage Japanese iron hawk statue captures the dramatic moment just before flight, wings fully outstretched as it grips a rugged rock base. Finely rendered feathers, talons, and beak showcase the sculptor’s mastery of tetsu (iron) casting, while the rich dark-brown patina lends depth and gravitas typical of Showa-era metalwork.

In Japanese culture, the hawk (taka) is a classic motif associated with keen vision, ambition, and auspicious fortune, making this piece ideal as a statement display in a tokonoma alcove, office, or study. The solid iron construction gives the statue a satisfying weight and presence, creating a striking focal point in any vintage Japanese décor or samurai-inspired collection.

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.
