Rare Antique Japanese Jizai-kagi Hearth Hook - Slender Eel/Carp Wood Carving with Movable Eyes & Mouth Ball (625g)

This is an exceptional and highly unusual Japanese Jizai-kagi (sunken hearth adjustable hook) component, featuring a masterfully carved wooden fish. While most traditional hearth fish depict plump carps, this specimen boasts a rare, slender, and elongated form inspired by an eel or catfish, making it a prize for collectors of Japanese folk art (Mingei).

The Masterful "Movable" Gimmick: What makes this piece truly extraordinary is its ingenious folk-toy craftsmanship. Both the eyeballs and the wooden ball inside its mouth can freely rotate and move. In Japanese culture, a fish holding a ball represents the Mani-hoju (sacred wish-granting jewel), bringing protection and prosperity to the household.

Key Features:

  • Intricate Scale Carving: The body is meticulously hand-carved with detailed scales that create a beautiful texture under the light, highlighted by a rich, dark lacquered patina.

  • Complete Ready-to-Display Set: It retains its original twisted hemp rope and the rustic, hand-forged antique iron hook (Koto-tetsu). It can be hung immediately as an avant-garde wall sculpture or conversation piece.

  • Genuine Wabi-Sabi Patina: Over decades of hanging near the hearth fire, the wood has aged beautifully, displaying minor superficial marks and a deep luster that only time can produce.

Specifications:

  • Fish Dimensions: Length 33.0 cm / 13.0 in, Height 9.0 cm / 3.5 in, Width 7.0 cm / 2.8 in

  • Total Rope Length: 97.0 cm / 38.2 in (From iron tip to fish belly)

  • Fish Weight: 353 g / 0.78 lbs

  • Total Weight (with hook & rope): 625 g / 1.38 lbs

  • Material: Hand-carved Wood, Antique Forged Iron, Hemp Rope

Condition: Good Antique Condition. The moving eye and mouth mechanisms function perfectly. The item shows beautiful age-appropriate wear, minor surface scuffs, and historic dust/smoke residue, emphasizing its genuine heritage and past life in a traditional home.
