Branding Iron - Assistant Sub S339 | eBay

Vintage-Branding-Iron-Metal-Kanji-Stamp-Japanese-Vintage-Assistant-Sub-S339



Vintage Branding Iron Metal Kanji Stamp Japanese Vintage Assistant Sub S339 | eBay



This is a vintage branding iron called a "yakiin". These were/are used on wood, leather...food...anything you want to brand. Please see the last picture to see an example of how it can be used.

I think they would look fabulous if used in pottery as a stamp. Also...I think they could be used with ink but as it is metal, the image wouldn't be as smooth and clear as a rubber stamp -please keep that in mind if that is how you want to use it.


This is "fukui" (in Kanji character) which means "assistant, sub, vice (as in vice president), secondary,".

They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old.


This is made of iron. Please look at the pictures carefully



It measures 19cm long x 2 cm (the stamp) wide. 

Horse - Japanese Wood Plaque in Shrine by VintageFromJapan

Japanese Wood Plaque - EMA - Year of Horse - Japan - E4-32 - Gosha Inari Sha Shrine in Kanagawa



Japanese Wood Plaque EMA Year of Horse by VintageFromJapan



This is an "Ema". "Ema" are small wooden plaques on which Shinto worshippers write their prayers or wishes. The ema are then left hanging up at the shrine, where the kami (spirits or gods) receive them. They bear various pictures, often of animals or other Shinto imagery, and many have the word gan'i (願意), meaning "wish", written along the side. In ancient times people would donate horses to the shrines for good favor, over time this was transferred to a wooden plaque with a picture of a horse, and later still to the various wooden plaques sold today for the same purpose.

Ema are sold for various wishes. Common reasons for buying a plaque are for success in work or on exams, marital bliss, to have children, and health. Some shrines specialize in certain types of these plaques, and the larger shrines may offer more than one. Sales of ema help support the shrine financially.

********There is a horse as lucky charm in year of horse. 

五社稲荷社 gosha inari sha = shrine in Kanagawa enshrined fox. 

It measures about 7.5 cm x 4.9 cm x 0.5 cm.
