About the Item

Hand-carved free-standing Japanese Sitting Man Figurine. Okimono is a Japanese term meaning for display as an art or decorative object. Figure is a smiling man dressed in traditional clothing of the period, sitting with right hand raised as if telling a story. Figure rests on an flat irregular base. This piece is well executed and retains all of the original patina of over 100 years old. Figures of Japan's worker's were especially popular, symbolizing prosperity, perseverance, and harmony with nature. The smiling expression conveys good fortune and contentment, themes deeply rooted in Japanese cultural traditions. In today's interiors, antique Japanese okimono make striking sculptural accents in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The figure can be displayed on a console, bookshelf, or in a glass cabinet. It pairs beautifully with minimalist decor, Asian inspired interiors, or curated collections of fine objects, serving as a refined focal point and conversation piece.

Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890
Located in Central England, GB
Late 19th C Japanese carved hardwood okimono of a man, circa 1890 This top quality and most impressive large scale Japanese carved hardwood okimono superbly depicts a characterful study of a delightfully crafty looking man. He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...
