This handcrafted bronze brush rest plate features an intricately sculpted karajishi, or Chinese guardian lion—an auspicious creature in East Asian tradition believed to protect against evil spirits. In Japanese culture, karajishi motifs have adorned temples, shrines, and traditional artworks since ancient times, symbolizing protection, power, and artistic refinement.

Made in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, a city with over 400 years of metal-casting heritage (Takaoka Tetsuki), this piece showcases the warmth and depth of lost-wax bronze casting. Its design provides not only visual elegance but also reliable functionality, holding your brushes securely in place.

This exceptional work is created by Takashi Omori, a distinguished traditional metal craftsman whose works have been selected for exhibition at Nitten (Nihon Bijutsutenrankai), Japan’s most prestigious national fine art exhibition. His mastery of form and traditional technique is reflected in every detail of this piece.

Whether used as a brush rest, displayed as an interior art object, or given as a meaningful gift, this limited edition plate embodies both cultural richness and refined craftsmanship.
