A towering crest curls forward, its foam breaking into fine, claw-like fingers. Beneath it, small boats ride the swell, and a quiet cloud drifts across the open sky. The surface has a muted gray tone and a subtle, finely textured finish. Light and shadow play across the carved forms, so the colour may appear slightly different depending on lighting. It is designed to be displayed upright on a shelf, console or tabletop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnigawara are the ornamental ridge-end tiles placed on the roofs of Japanese temples, castles and traditional houses. They form part of a long protective tradition in Japanese architecture. Over time, these roof ornaments became admired as much for their sculptural presence as for their function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnigawara are traditionally regarded as talismans, believed to ward off evil and misfortune and said to watch over the household beneath them. This plate presents a wave rather than an oni face, but it is offered in the same spirit, as a dignified ornament for the home or study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is made in Japan of kawara, a traditional Japanese clay ceramic. It reflects a Japanese craft form long associated with roof ornamentation and brings that tradition into a refined display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Okimono, relief plate ornament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great Wave with boats and cloud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese ceramic (kawara)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e length 3 cm x width 20 cm x height 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the seller: I am a craftsman in the kawara (Japanese traditional ceramics) trade myself.
