Kyo-Yaki Shōami Zodiac Rooster Figurine by Ryōzō Taniguchi

This Kyo-Yaki figurine is a charming Zodiac Rooster sculpture, created by the renowned Kyoto ceramic artist Ryōzō Taniguchi.

The Zodiac Rooster is carefully handcrafted by Ryōzō Taniguchi, who imbues each piece with his attention to detail and craftsmanship. This figurine is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, as displaying the zodiac animal of the year is said to bring luck and blessings.
