商品詳細【Japanese Jizai Kagi Wood Koi Folk Art Sculptures】 木製の鯛、自在鉤です。魚は水に関係することから、火事を防ぐお守りの意味合いで、また、魚はまぶたがないことから「眠らずに火を見守る」という意味で用いられるとのこと。 Hand-carved from solid wood, these sculptures are known as Jizai Kagi in Japanese and function as the leveling pulley for the attached hearth hook. Traditionally, they were used above an indoor floor hearth (irori) to hold cooking vessels such as tea pot over the fire.
