The age of stone garden ornaments can be difficult to determine precisely. This example is likely Showa period (1926-1989). In very good original condition, with expected surface wear consistent with outdoor placement. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
In Japan, the frog (kaeru) is associated with fertility and good fortune. As the word kaeru also means “to return,” the frog is considered an auspicious symbol for safe return and the coming back of good things.
