Yakushigama is well known for creating auspicious figurines and decorative ornaments that blend traditional craftsmanship with cheerful folk designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt embodies both quiet strength and refined ceramic artistry. Rendered in a poised, forward-stepping stance, the tiger stands alert upon a small base accented with subtle bamboo motifs—an enduring symbol of resilience and integrity in East Asian tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is coated in a luminous celadon glaze, its soft blue-green tone pooling gently in the carved lines of the tiger’s musculature and stripes. This glaze, long treasured in Japanese ceramics for its serene and jade-like quality, enhances the sense of calm authority that the tiger conveys. The smooth, glassy surface contrasts beautifully with the sculpted details, from the expressive face to the curling tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the zodiac animal, the tiger (tora) represents courage, protection, and the power to ward off misfortune. In this interpretation, Yakushigama’s refined aesthetic tempers that strength with grace, creating a piece that is both auspicious and visually soothing. Rooted in a kiln tradition spanning over a millennium, this figurine reflects the enduring appeal of Japanese seasonal ornaments—objects that quietly carry wishes for strength, good fortune, and steadfast spirit into the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 10 x 4 x 7.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56997658132811,"sku":"FT419","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_538a92ae-d38f-4ecf-80ed-7979a27117ec.jpg?v=1775836437","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/ft419-tiger-zodiac-figurine-by-yakushigama-%e8%96%ac%e5%b8%ab%e7%aa%af","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
