Authentic 1800s Japanese Cast Iron Wall Plate Kamon Edo Meiji Decor

This is an authentic Japanese cast iron wall-hanging decorative plate, dating to the late Edo to early Meiji period (1800s) and featuring a traditional Kamon (family crest) design.

Cast iron plates such as this were historically used as protective wall décor, symbols of lineage, or seasonal interior ornaments. The deeply textured surface, subtle rim contours, and restrained use of red enamel accents reflect traditional Japanese ironwork aesthetics rooted in strength, balance, and symbolism.

The Kamon motif at the center represents family identity and heritage, commonly displayed in samurai households and later adopted as decorative art pieces during the Meiji era. The iron shows a natural aged patina consistent with genuine 19th-century craftsmanship.

Equipped with a hanging cord, this piece is ready for display and makes a powerful statement in Japanese, Zen, or wabi-sabi interiors.

Sourced directly from a Japanese government auction, guaranteeing authenticity and provenance.
