They belong to an old protective tradition in Japanese architecture, in which a fierce, watchful face was set at the highest point of a building. This okimono carries that heritage into a form suited to a shelf, desk or tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oni is traditionally regarded as a talisman, said to ward off evil and misfortune and to watch over the household. Such meanings are part of folk belief and custom. They are offered here as cultural background and not as a promise of any effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure has a composed, commanding expression. Two pointed horns rise from a brow of scrolled curls, and flowing, wave-like hair sweeps back from the forehead. Round eyes, a broad nose, small fangs and a finely lined beard complete the face. Below it, a curved ornamental border with rounded studs frames the mask in the classic onigawara manner. The surface is a soft, matte gray with a gentle metallic quality, and it sits on a black display stand. Colour may vary slightly with lighting and screen settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a Japanese traditional craft form. It is made in Japan of kawara, the traditional Japanese clay, and is a ceramic work in the traditional onigawara style. It will suit an alcove, a bookshelf or a quiet corner of a study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Onigawara-style Oni Figurine (Okimono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray, with black stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic (kawara, traditional Japanese clay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Length 9 cm × Width 15 cm × Height 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 kg (500 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Display stand, as shown in the photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the seller: I am a craftsman in the kawara (Japanese traditional ceramics) trade myself.
