Bronze bust titled “K-jo” by Yasutake Funakoshi（舟越保武）(1912–2002), mounted on a marble base with engraved plate “Y. FUNAKOSHI”. This work presents a quiet female head, defined by soft modelling and a deliberately restrained expression. Rather than pursuing decorative detail, the sculpture focuses on stillness and inner presence — a characteristic approach in Funakoshi’s postwar figurative works. The smooth bronze surface and simplified forms create a calm, timeless atmosphere, inviting close and contemplative viewing. The contrast between the dark bronze and the white marble base further enhances its sculptural clarity.
