Exceptional Signed Hiroshi Murata Japanese Zodiac Bronze Sculptures — Vintage Takaoka Metalwork — Provenance Japan
A rare and highly collectible pair of original Japanese metal sculptures signed by master craftsman Hiroshi Murata, depicting two important figures from the Japanese zodiac:
• Rat (Nezumi) — traditionally associated with prosperity, fertility and abundance
• Rooster (Tori) — symbol of commercial success, renewal and good fortune
These sculptures originate from the celebrated metalworking tradition of Takaoka, one of Japan’s most prestigious historic bronze-casting centers.
Hiroshi Murata is highly regarded for his award-recognized casting techniques and refined metal patination, producing animal sculptures celebrated for their realism, vitality and subtle elegance.
Craftsmanship & Finish
Each sculpture is cast in heavy metal (copper / brass alloy) with remarkable precision, capturing exceptionally fine details in the fur texture of the rat and the layered feather structure of the rooster.
The surface displays delicate tonal gradations with understated gold accents. Particularly striking is the rooster’s vividly colored red comb, which creates a subtle focal point and gives the piece a remarkable lifelike presence without sacrificing refinement.
Each figurine bears the artist’s “Hiroshi” signature mark beneath the base, confirming authenticity and Murata’s commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Specifications
• Original signed set of two sculptures
• Heavy metal construction
• Total weight: approx. 1100 g
• Size: approx. 10–20 cm
• Beautifully nuanced patina with preserved metallic luster
Despite their modest dimensions, both sculptures possess an extraordinary sculptural presence, appearing almost animated while maintaining the quiet sophistication characteristic of fine Japanese decorative art.
They integrate beautifully into both traditional Japanese interiors and modern Western design settings.
Provenance
I personally purchased these sculptures in Japan during a trip in 2000, together with several other Japanese art and collectible pieces that I am currently selling on DBA.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
The painted accents show only minimal wear, and the original metallic sheen remains beautifully preserved.
These sculptures are ideal for:
• Japanese art collectors
• Takaoka bronze enthusiasts
• Elegant interior decoration
• Traditional good-luck display
• A refined and meaningful gift

Dansk info til danske købere
Originalt signeret japansk kunsthåndværk fra Takaoka.
Jeg købte selv disse figurer i Japan i år 2000. Begge er signerede og udført i tung metal med meget fine detaljer i pels og fjerstruktur. Hanens røde kam og de diskrete gyldne nuancer giver figurerne et levende og eksklusivt udtryk.
Patinaen og den metalliske glans er meget flot bevaret, med kun minimal aldersrelateret brug.
Sjældne samlerobjekter med høj dekorativ værdi og klassisk japansk symbolik for velstand og held. Perfekt til samlere eller eksklusiv boligindretning.
