From our collection of late 19th Century Japanese Metalwork, this delightful Silvered Bronze Okimono of a Japanese Long Eared Owl. The bird stands on a gnarled wood base with wings outspread as if preparing to take off.
Signed Masatsune to the underside and offered in perfect condition.
Owl
In Japan the owl is a symbol of good fortune and luck, due to the Japanese word for owl (Fukuro) being similar to the one for luck, it is often used as a suffix for boys names. Owl charms are popular gifts in Japan and are often given to students graduating.
There is a yokai (spirit) known as tatarimokke said to be the spirit of a dead child that takes the form of a an owl and haunts the home of it’s family.
