【Product details】

This charming piece from the Showa era features a beautifully crafted bamboo cricket cage containing a remarkably lifelike bamboo grasshopper and bamboo leaves. The intricate details of the grasshopper and leaves create an illusion of a living insect within the cage, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the era.

The item shows some signs of age, including a light layer of dust. There is minor damage to the grasshopper, specifically a partial loss of the hind legs. Please refer to the provided photographs for a detailed view of the item's condition.

This unique piece serves as both a decorative item and a testament to the artistry of bamboo craft during the Showa period. It would make an excellent addition to collections focused on Japanese crafts, insects, or Showa era artifacts.
