Alloy - Takaoka Copperware 高岡銅器 - Ojimon 翁地紋 - Shōwa period (1926-1989) (No Reserve Price)

This is an "Okina 翁" figurine from Takaoka copperware. Its title is "Ojimon 翁地紋." This figurine, meticulously crafted to the finest details, allows you to remove the fan and mask. Although the insertion pin seems to be slightly bent, there is no noticeable discomfort when inserting it. "Ossan" refers to an elderly man or senior, a term used with affection and respect. When used to address someone else, it carries a sense of reverence.
