FAQs

The Meiji period (1868-1912) marked a monumental shift in Japanese art, as master metalworkers redirected their traditional samurai sword-fitting skills towards creating intricate, highly realistic bronze sculptures for the international export market.

These sculptures were typically cast using the traditional lost-wax method, often employing a specialized bronze alloy known as shibuichi or standard copper-tin bronze, followed by meticulous hand-chasing and chemical patination.

Authentic pieces usually feature heavy weight, exceptional anatomical precision, fine chisel work visible in the fur detailing, and often bear an artists signature or foundry mark cast or engraved into the base.

Such statement decorative objects serve as exceptional focal points on heavy timber sideboards, executive desks, or library mantelpieces, adding a layer of historical gravitas and texture to curated spaces.

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally treated with a very thin layer of microcrystalline wax to protect the patina from atmospheric moisture and oxidation; abrasive cleaners must be strictly avoided.
