Japanese Antique Wooden Horse Tricycle 1860s-1900s / Sculpture Wabisabi
About the Item
Very old tricycle with wooden horse made in Japan.
It is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s).
It is made of iron, cedar wood, straw, and paper.
In Japan at that time, only a few wealthy people could play with this kind of toy.
Japan was in such a state that most of the goods were destroyed by fire during the war.
It is almost a miracle that these items have survived in this condition.
Of course, it is not suitable for riding, but it is a wonderful object.
The handle and wheels are movable.
In my 20 years of antiquities history, this is the first tricycle with a wooden horse that I have encountered.
It is a very rare object that belongs to a museum.
