A bronze okimono depicting a young samurai with a drawn katana, held with both hands above his head in an attacking stance, signed Yoshimitsu. His intense gaze and posture evoke the tension of a warrior in the moment just before the strike. The kimono is finely engraved with floral motifs, family crests (mon), and wave-like decorations that follow the movement of the sleeves, lifted by wind and action. The figure rests on a carved wooden base. Signature on the back of the garments. Okimono (置物), combining the kanji "oki" (置き, to place) and "mono" (物, object), refers to a decorative object meant for display.
