This authentic 1950s Japanese BIG SIZE Kappa figurine is a rare mid-century folk art pottery piece, handcrafted in Japan and sourced directly from a Japan Government Auction. Weighing approximately 1.8 kg (3.97 lbs), it was originally part of a private Japanese estate and is not a replica.
The Kappa (河童) is a well-known Japan in Japanese folklore—a mischievous water spirit often depicted with a playful personality. Its expressive pose beautifully merges Japanese mythology with hand-sculpted ceramic artistry, making it a striking display piece.
Crafted with a deep earthy glaze, this piece reflects the rustic folk pottery traditions of post-war Japan.
✨ Condition Notice: Minor age-related wear consistent with vintage ceramics, adding to its authentic patina and charm.
Ideal for collectors of Japanese folklore, yokai art, mid-century pottery, or unique handmade figurines.
