Morikin Grape Pattern Aochibu Tiger Figurine

Sale price$2,070.00 USD

Description

The Morikin Grape Pattern Aochibu Tiger Figurine expertly combines the morikin "raised gold" and aochibu "blue dots" techniques. This exquisite piece captivates with its intricate design, featuring a black base that serves as a canvas for the mesmerizing swirl of blue dots. The elegance is further heightened by the addition of platinum and gold grape motifs, showcasing a dedication to both beauty and detail, and elevating the figurine with an air of sophistication.

This tiger figurine rests its paw on a surface adorned with shirochibu "white dots" and floral motifs, accented with morikin that spreads across the white sphere, adding brilliance through a refined interplay of texture and light.

In Japanese culture, the tiger is seen as a symbol of strength, courage, and protection. The wooden plaque inscribed with the kanji "shofuku," meaning “inviting good fortune,” adds an auspicious touch, linking the tiger’s presence to hopes for strength and blessings. With a form that balances boldness and softness, the figurine feels both dignified and full of charm.
