Antique Keyaki (Japanese Elm) Jizai Kagi. This is a type of hook or hanger which is suspended over the irori (hearth or fireplace) in a traditional Japanese house. From this oversized hook a rope hangs down to another metal hook from which a tea kettle and other cooking pots can be hung. 

There are a few common forms of this type of hook and this one is referred to as a Daikoku type because the triangular top looks like the god of fortune Daikoku's hat.
 
Often overlooked as just parts of daily country life, Jizai Kagi are now viewed as pieces of Mingei (Folk) Art and collected. They are fantastically sculptural. 

This is a smaller example likely dating to the start of the 20th Century. 
In good condition, there are some age cracks that can be seen in the top of the hook, but these are stable. 


Measures 21cm wide x 18cm deep x 22cm tall.

Found in Kyoto.
