These bronze ornaments are three-dimensional interpretations of the animals depicted on ancient dōtaku bronze bells. The animal figures on dōtaku, though rendered with simple lines, convey a powerful sense of life and movement—as if echoing the rhythms of nature. Inspired by the expressive artistry of Yayoi-period craftsmen, we created these pieces to capture that ancient spirit. We hope they bring a touch of timeless mystery and charm to your space.
Materials: Bronze Size: W3.54" × D1.18" × H2.56" / 0.12 lb

 

About Dōtaku
Dōtaku are ancient Japanese ritual bronze bells made during the Yayoi period (ca. 2nd century BCE–3rd century CE). They were not used as musical instruments; instead, they played an important role in agricultural rituals and ceremonies. Many dōtaku are decorated with designs related to nature, farming, and daily life, reflecting the beliefs of early agricultural communities in Japan. They are considered valuable archaeological artifacts that offer insight into Japan’s ancient culture and craftsmanship.
