The brow is furrowed beneath a crest that rises like a flame, and the eyes are open and fixed. Bared teeth and curved fangs show above a finely incised, flowing beard. The surface is a matte, slate-grey ceramic, and its tone may appear slightly different depending on lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnigawara are ornamental ridge-end tiles that were set upon the roofs of Japanese temples, castles and traditional houses. They form part of a long protective tradition in Japanese architecture, and the fierce faces of the oni were a defining feature of these roof ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, the onigawara has been regarded as a talisman. It is said to ward off evil and misfortune and to watch over the household beneath it. These are matters of tradition and belief, offered here as cultural context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan of kawara clay, a traditional Japanese ceramic, this piece belongs to a Japanese traditional craft form.
