Vintage Japanese Statue, Iron, 1930s, Showa Era (SKU 25S-682-3)

A fierce guardian of ancient tales, forged in iron.

This vintage Japanese statue, crafted in the 1930s during the Shōwa era, captures the essence of strength and grace through its detailed representation of a prowling tiger. The meticulous artistry showcases the skill of the craftsman, who has imbued the figure with a sense of dynamic movement, as if it might leap from its base at any moment. In Japanese culture, tigers are often viewed as protectors and symbols of courage, making this piece not only a work of art but also a guardian for its owner.

Made from iron, this statue reflects the durability and timelessness of traditional Japanese metalwork. The rich, dark patina enhances its visual appeal while also telling a story of age and history. Such pieces were often used in homes and gardens to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune, embodying the deep spiritual connection between nature and art in Japanese culture.
