Braided Lobster

A traditional Japanese decorative lobster, intricately handcrafted using kumihimo, the centuries old art of Japanese cord braiding.
 
Made from vibrant orange pure silk cords, the piece beautifully captures the distinctive shape of an Ise lobster, from its long antennae and delicate legs to its carefully woven body.
 
Traditionally displayed during New Year celebrations, the lobster symbolizes longevity, good fortune, and prosperity in Japanese culture.
 
These are older pieces and may show signs of age, scratches, surface marks or use consistent with their history.
