This charming dorei (clay bell) is a delightful creation by Yakushigama (薬師窯) a celebrated Japanese kiln with a heritage spanning over 1,000 years, is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship in folk art and figurines that embody the spirit of seasonal celebration.
Meticulously hand-painted, the figure takes the form of a white dog adorned with red ears and a round decorative bib featuring a vibrant floral motif, symbolizing good fortune and seasonal festivity. Its textured gold markings add a touch of traditional elegance, while the red-and-white cord tied around its neck completes its festive charm.
This bell beautifully embodies Yakushigama’s legacy of artistry in folk ceramics and makes for an auspicious ornament or thoughtful gift.
