Showa Era Item: A hand-carved and hand-painted wooden relief of the Yōkai Yamauba by a craftsperson. Yamauba (also known as Yamanba) is a yōkai, or supernatural being, from Japanese folklore, depicted as an old woman with white hair who dwells deep in the mountains. While sometimes portrayed as a terrifying ogress who devours humans, she also has a gentle and maternal side, as seen in the legend of her raising Kintarō. She embodies the duality of the mountains, symbolizing both their harshness and their bounty, and has been passed down through generations. There is a theory that she was originally a mountain god. This is a carefully carved and deeply expressive work. A one-of-a-kind piece by the artist, a unique encounter. Recommended for those who love yōkai and collectors of Showa era items. The name is written on the back, so it is covered in the photo. Please purchase after confirming any scratches or stains, as this is an old item. Also, there may be scratches that are not visible in the photos. #Antique Brocante Arlequin #Kokeshi•Maneki Neko•Crafts Collection Arlequin Thank you for viewing.
