This is a huge wooden sake cup coated on urushi done by makie techinaique from Zouhiko dated around 1,970.Heian Zohiko is established in 1,661 and now one of the well-known urushi artist from Kyoto.
Not like regular flat sake cup,this is made as a display art piece,so it made in such a huge scale.There is Fujinis,the Japanese god of the wind and one of the eldest Shinto gods. He was present at the creation of the world and when he first let the winds out of his bag, they cleared the morning mists and filled the Gate between heaven and earth so the sun shone.
He is portrayed as a terrifying dark demon wearing a leopard skin, carrying a large bag of winds on his shoulders.
A legend of Chinese Buddhism states that Fujin and Raijin, the god of thunder, were both originally evil demons who opposed Buddha. They were captured in battle with Buddha's army of heaven, and have worked as gods since then.
He is colored with various colors and tones and nashiji colors along his body, which is transparent and yellowish and is prepared by mixing gamboge or gardenia pods with transparent urushi of good quality.
His masculine body,facial expression,vivid movement around him,all are just fabulous,so please enjoy all details on more pictures.
It has stamp of Zohiko on the bottom.
It does not have any prominet flaws.
This dynamic and outstanding art piece will be the best eye catching home decor for sure!
