{"product_id":"v-0826-65","title":"vintage Japanese ueda lion-dancer wooden wall plaque","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lion dancer looks as though he’s happy to carry on until everyone else has gone home. Carved in wood, he represents the lion dances of Ueda, a castle town in Japan’s Nagano prefecture, where the tradition has accompanied local celebrations for centuries. The six coins above him form the crest of the Sanada family, who built Ueda Castle. Lion-dancer wall carvings are traditionally given as a wish for good fortune, making his exuberance rather fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"the maker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67903901565161,"sku":"V-0826-65","price":248.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0181\/3201\/files\/V-0826-65-1.jpg?v=1794282901","url":"https:\/\/www.themakerhobart.com.au\/products\/v-0826-65","provider":"the maker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
