Vintage Japanese Stirrups, Iron, Showa Era (SKU 25S-629)

A timeless connection to the equestrian arts of Japan.

This exquisite pair of vintage Japanese stirrups, crafted from iron, reflects the rich heritage of traditional Japanese horsemanship during the Showa era. Known as ""tachi,"" these stirrups were not merely functional; they were also a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that characterized the period. The unique design features a curved silhouette, allowing for a secure footing while riding, embodying the balance between form and function that defines Japanese antiques.

The stirrups evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of the days when horses were essential to transportation and warfare in Japan. Each curve and contour tells a story, perhaps of a samurai or a farmer, who relied on these sturdy tools for their daily lives. The iron construction ensures durability, while the wear and patina add character, making them a fascinating piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
