Shigaraki Ware Ornament - Frog in the Wallet / 信楽焼 がま口カエル

In Japan, the frog / 蛙 is a familiar symbol of good fortune. The word for frog, kaeru, shares the same sound as 帰る, meaning “to return”, inspiring wishes such as a safe return home, money returning, and happiness returning. For this reason, frog figurines have long been enjoyed as auspicious decorations for safe journeys, prosperity and positive new beginnings.

This cheerful frog rests against a generously shaped fortune pouch, raising one hand in a friendly, welcoming gesture. At the front hangs a small plaque inscribed with 開運 / Kaiun, an expression wishing for good fortune and the opening of positive opportunities. Its rounded form, lively green glaze and humorous expression give the piece a warm and endearing character.

A meaningful decoration for an entrance, living room, workspace or shop counter, this lucky frog is especially suited to those beginning a new chapter, travelling, studying or building a business. It also makes a thoughtful gift, carrying the gentle wish that good fortune, valued people and opportunities will always find their way back.

As the whole piece is handmade in Japan, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
