Title: Japanese Bronze Dragonfly Jizai Okimono (自在置物) Technique: Cast & forged bronze, articulated Jizai Okimono craft Size: approx. H 2.2 × W 8.6 × D 11.5 cm (0.9 in × 3.4 in × 4.5 in) Tomobako box: H 6 × W 10 × D 10 cm (2.4 × 3.9 × 3.9 in) Weight: 30 g Material: Bronze This bronze dragonfly is a Japanese metalwork Jizai Okimono (自在置物). Crafted by casting and fine forging, this dragonfly Jizai Okimono features four openwork carved wings, faithfully reproducing the delicate mesh venation of real dragonfly wings, light and lifelike. The segmented body, compound eyes and limbs are realistically rendered. The four wings and body are built with articulated joints. Wing joints move freely up and down, and each segment of the tail can be adjusted to form gentle curved poses, recreating the lifelike posture of a dragonfly. The whole piece has a warm brown bronze patina with fine metal texture. It bears the maker’s mark “Yasunosuke (安の介)” on the underside. It comes with a Tomobako wooden storage box and yellow storage cloth. Due to age, the bronze has natural oxidation, localized green patina and minor wear. No breaks, missing parts or repairs. Overall condition is good.
