Description

Japanese Wood Carved Tai Sea Bream Fish Jizaikagi Yokogi Hearth Hook

This is a Japanese wooden crossbar (yokogi) for a traditional hearth hook (jizaikagi), hand-carved in the shape of a Tai (sea bream) fish. It is a functional piece of Japanese folk art (Mingei) historically used in farmhouse kitchens.

The piece is carved from wood with a dark, matte aged finish and features detailed scales, fins, and a prominent eye. It comes with an attached iron chain for suspension from the ceiling. The Tai fish is a traditional Japanese symbol of good fortune and was often used as a protective talisman against fire in the home.

Size:
Height: 27.5 cm / 10.8 in
Width: 46.5 cm / 18.3 in
Depth: 7.0 cm / 2.8 in
Weight: 2785 g / 6.14 lbs

Condition:
The item shows significant signs of age, including surface wear and a dark patina. There is a small, aged crack inside the crevice near the dorsal fin area (please refer to the red-circled photo and the close-up in IMG 8-10,18 ). The iron chain exhibits surface rust consistent with historical use.

Please check the photos carefully for details.
