Black Tin Cat On Wheels Vintage Japanese Wind-Up Toy alebrijes with an opening of 2"

with an opening of 2" x 2

Another gorgeous old brush

executed in black ink on a washi-type paper that I think was once much closer to white than it is today

The lines running vertically articulate the vase's structure but are wonderfully irregular

anywhere it is hung this piece will really make the room

Black Tin Cat On Wheels Vintage Japanese Wind-Up Toy alebrijes with an opening of 2"I really love this old tin cat on wheels toy, which is not just a great object, but a super fun one: pull down on the tail to wind it up (this requires holding the body with the other hand as the pressure pressure builds), then release and off it goes rolling, fast! It's also nice that it can sit up on its tail, head and two paws raised as if begging you for a treat! I'm not sure the maker of this one, but it is stamped "Made in Japan" on its bell,
