Notes: Hiromitsu Takahashi’s 十二支土鈴 (12 Zodiac Clay Bells) delicately depicts twelve traditional Japanese clay bells, known as 土鈴 (dorei). These small, hand-formed bells are typically made of clay or ceramic and are painted with vibrant designs - often symbolizing good luck or protection. In this print, Takahashi depicts the twelve animals of the Japanese zodiac - each bell vividly painted to represent its respective zodiac animal, such as the 鼠 (rat), 牛 (ox), and 虎 (tiger). These bells are traditionally collected as ornaments or amulets, embodying the charm and playfulness of folk crafts. A small but particularly charming piece.
