ANTIQUE JAPANESE DAIKOKU FIGURINE METAL COIN STILL BANK

Description: Estate Find....This is a wonderful old Japanese still coin bank (made of non-magnetic metal) in the iconic image of Daikoku. Daikoku is regarded not only as the patron of farmers, businessmen, and allied trades, he is also regarded as a demon chaser. There is a story told that Daikoku, with the aid of one of his messengers, a white rat, chased a demon who had come from hell to carry Daikoku away. Daikoku had used a charm, a sacred branch from a tree in his garden, and through this event, many Japanese believe that this was the origin of hanging branches of greenery over the entrance to houses during New Year’s. Country people regard Daikoku as the God of harvest time and pay him appropriate homage for the gathering of their crops. Bank measures 6" tall and is in good condition for age. He has some surface pitting/wear, nice patina and a couple of small holes. It has one coin slot, (made to accept old coins used in the early 1900s) on the back for making a deposit. On the underside of the bank is a hinged door for the removal of coins. He still has his original key! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND MOST OF MY ITEMS ARE VINTAGE AND USED AND WILL SHOW SOME SIGNS OF AGE.
