This exquisite collection is more than just a decorative set; it is a "Zen corner" for your home, bringing together the modern artistic vision of a master sculptor and the natural wisdom of Japanese architecture. The Artistry: Sotaro Saegusa (1911-2006) Each of the 12 Zodiac animals (Junishi) is designed by the renowned Japanese sculptor Sotaro Saegusa, a member of the Japan Art Academy. His work is celebrated for its Mid-Century Modern aesthetic—bold, minimalist, and powerful. The golden finish catches the light beautifully, making each piece a small masterpiece of form and shadow. The Base: Authentic Mini Tatami with "Asanoha" Pattern The set is presented on a specially crafted Mini Tatami mat, made natural Igusa (Japanese rush grass). Aromatic & Relaxing: The natural scent of Igusa grass has a proven calming effect, bringing the refreshing atmosphere of a Japanese temple into your living space. Natural Humidity Control: True to traditional Japanese architecture, the sponge-like core of the Igusa grass naturally regulates humidity, absorbing moisture when the air is damp and releasing it when dry. Why This Set is Special: Full Set: A complete cycle of the 12 animals + orijinal box, representing luck and harmony for every year. Condition: In good vintage condition for a used item.
