Shigaraki Ware Figurine, Laughing Frog (Small), Width 19cm, Depth 21cm, Height 13cm, 552-05

[Shigaraki Ware] This type of ceramic, supported by a long history and culture, has been passed down to the present day through traditional techniques. One of its defining features is the rough surface and the inclusion of many fine stone grains. With the rise of the tea ceremony, it has become highly prized as tea utensils. While retaining the distinctive "wabi" and "sabi" aesthetic of Shigaraki ware, technological developments have been made to meet demand for ease of processing, leading to the continued production of pottery rooted in everyday life to this day.

Frogs are said to bring "safe return," "return of money," "return of happiness," and "rejuvenation," and have long been cherished as lucky charms. They are associated with wishes for the safe return of those on business trips or travels, and for a speedy discharge and return of those hospitalized.
