Japan's 19th century Eastern esoteric instrument - Ducobalt pestle (13 cm long)

Acquired from overseas collectors. According to the collector, it is from the Edo period (1603 to 1867 AD, 17th to early 19th century). Change to the Chinese dynasty from the late Ming Dynasty to the mid-Qing Dynasty. A Dokko pestle from the Edo period. Basically it has a history of 150-420 years. I have been handling cultural relics for many years... but I still conservatively underestimate the age. Positioned in the 19th century. Hundred-year-old religious cultural relics are relatively appropriate. Total length 13 cm. Bronze alloy. Hand carved and trimmed. A special vajra multiplier with a long history of practice. **************************** Nowadays, there are cast cobalt pestle instruments on the market. The market price of new and exquisite products is about 3200-4000. Common products made in mainland China are cheaper. It costs NT$600. There are several new types of single-cobalt pestle ritual tools that are made from old ritual tools that are more than a century old. There is not much difference in appearance. I have no accumulated experience in collecting old Tibetan ritual objects. I am a new and inexperienced collector. It's hard to tell what's different between the old and the new. Currently, collectors in Taiwan mostly collect old Tibetan ritual artifacts. There are very few collectors who collect Japanese Eastern Tantric magical artifacts. The supply of old Eastern Tantric magical artifacts on the market is even rarer... Therefore, it is difficult to promote the old Japanese Eastern Mitra ritual tools in Taiwan.... ************************************ As for the magnetic field induction of the magic weapon. I don’t have a telepathic constitution. Whether it's Tibet's ancient Puba pestle or vajra pestle... Even the Tomi Cobalt, 3 Cobalt, and 5 Cobalt pestles from Japan... are completely insensitive. But this year when I collected a lot of Tibetan pestles, I also picked up a few Japanese pestles. One night I was playing with a cobalt pestle. I put it under my pillow before going to bed. Unexpectedly, I dreamed about the fire ceremony scene at night. I could smell the rosin resin burned in the fire ceremony. Because in the past few years, I often burn broken amber and beeswax Wax beads for friends to smell. Let your friends learn the smell of authentic Wax amber after burning... In the dream, I smelled it carefully...three times in a row... Therefore, it was confirmed in the dream that it was really the smell of burning resins such as rosin and Wax... When I wake up at dawn...for more than 30 years, I have touched countless magic weapons...all of which are insensitive and dull... I can actually get a dream response from this single cobalt pestle... A cultural relic colleague from the south once said: Japanese practitioners have more power of mind than Tibetans. Don’t underestimate Japanese magical instruments... On December 7, 2024, a Taoist brother who had been practicing spiritual meditation for a long time came to visit. I have sensed many magic weapons in my hand... Regardless of Tibetan (11th-18th century) or Japanese Laochu.... Ever since he started, he couldn't help but feel irritated. He couldn't stop... He said that the magnetic field is so powerful... and then looked at me in disbelief... When I asked, I didn’t feel anything when I touched these magic weapons??? After the induction, he took pictures and sent them to his master to see... Listen to me explain to him the age and purchase price of each magical weapon... The next morning, he embarrassedly asked me to lend him 3 Japanese Eastern esoteric instruments (doku, 3 cobalt, and 5 cobalt pestles)... Because the magnetic fields induced by Japanese magical instruments are almost as strong as those induced by Tibetan magical instruments... but the price gap is huge... Just like the price gap between Tibetan Dzi beads and West Asian beads... I should have calculated that the price of Japanese magical instruments is still affordable... On December 19, 2024, he made a special trip north to find me and report to me. He brought these Japanese magic weapons home that night and put two of them next to his bedside table. In my dream, I saw two dragons, big and small, appearing in the pestle... He has been cultivating induction for many years... This time he was really pleasantly surprised... ************************************ 2024.12.18 Go to the ashram to make offerings to the guru Ugyen Khenpo. Ask Tibetan Buddhism if there is a method for cultivating three cobalt pestles. The master said that only lay yogis meditate. But just meditate...use the method of visualization...visualize 3 cobalt pestles in your mouth... In fact, the magic weapon of 3 cobalt pestle is not used. *************************** The following information was found from the Internet. Introduction to the Eastern Secret Vajra Multiplier. Single cobalt pestle. The solitary stock represents the wisdom of the Great Sun Tathagata, the one and only Dharma Realm. It also represents the meaning of diligence, bravery and destruction. Because there are no forks at both ends, it is a single-peaked pestle shape. Therefore, it is called a single-stranded stock. It is the vajra in the forty hands of Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara and held by one of the right hands of Vajragarbha Bodhisattva. Also known as: single-cobalt pestle, single-stranded pestle, single-stranded pestle, single-stranded pestle. One of the Vajras held by practitioners of Japanese Esoteric Buddhism. 5500-114.01.12
