Description Stylized carving of a bullfinch carved from single piece of wood; Long, curling wood shavings form 4 rows of feathers around bird's head and are painted red and green; Bird's breast and head are painted red; Piece of gold foil paper crowns bird's head; Bullfinches are associated with Sugawara Michizane (born 845; died 903) who was later deified as the god Tenjin, because Japanese word for bullfinch (uso) is a homonym for the word ‘lie.’ Michizane was exiled from the Kyoto court on the basis of lies told by his rivals, and following his death, the capital was struck by natural disasters which ended only when his name was cleared and shrines were built in his honor; He was deified as the god of learning and the protector from natural disasters. Each new year, people exchange last year’s bullfinch for a new one to reverse (or make a lie) of any bad luck that might lie ahead; This toy was probably introduced at the end of the 10th century.

Materials Wood; Lacquer
Description Small, shallow Odawara lacquerware bowl carved from single piece of wood and covered in lacquer; Square shape with corners trimmed to create a rounded octagon; Bowl has slightly downward-sloping sides, and straight-edged rim; No identifying markings. Odawara lacquerware is a government-designated traditional craft from the city of Odawara, that can be traced back to the mid-Muromachi Period (1338-1573); The Odawara style of lacquerware allows the beauty of the underlying wood to clearly shine through by rubbing lacquer into wood that has been shaved using a potter’s wheel, followed by lacquer painting methods that make use of the coarse wood grains; Using these methods, the grain is not covered, and can be seen in its genuine form; Odawara lacquerware does not feature ornate designs and vivid coloring, but emphasizes the raw beauty of the wood grain.
