Takasago Elderly Couple Figurines | Japanese Porcelain Symbol of Eternal Love & Longevity
Takasago Couple
The Takasago elderly couple - the old man with a rake and the old woman with a broom - are among Japan’s most beloved cultural icons. Rooted in Noh theater and Shinto tradition, they represent the ideal of a couple growing old together in happiness, peace, and mutual respect.
Each figure in this set is sculpted in fine white porcelain, finished with a soft glaze that reflects purity and serenity - key elements in Japanese aesthetics.
The old man holds a rake, symbolizing the gathering of good fortune, while the old woman holds a broom to sweep away negativity and misfortune. Together, they embody harmony, prosperity, and longevity.
Perfect as a wedding gift, home blessing ornament, or centerpiece in a wabi-sabi or Zen-inspired interior, this Takasago set brings a touch of Japanese spirituality and timeless artistry into any living space.
