About the Item

This exceptional Japanese Meiji period okimono depicts Fukurokuju, the lucky god of wealth and happiness. The figure is very finely carved from a single piece of dense tightly grained boxwood, which is a very difficult medium to carve and shows that the artist who produced this fine okimono was a master craftsman artist. Fukurokuju is depicted in a standing position. He has the characteristic large, bold cranium for which he is very well known together with his long beard. He is dressed in simple robes, tied at the waist. In one hand he is holding a large fruit and in the other he is holding a large, gnarly, ornate staff with a hanging scroll. The boxwood has developed a lovely rich golden colour with a darker patina in some places. Japanese, circa 1900 Height 26cm x width 10cm x depth 8cm

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...
