Bronze - Seibo Kitamura 北村西望 - The General's Grandson 将軍の孫 Innocent and Pure 天真爛漫 - Showa Period (No Reserve Price)

This is a figurine of an old woman and her grandson by Kitamura Seibo. Its title is "Innocent and Pure: The General's Grandson." It's a charming figurine typical of Kitamura Seibo's sculptures. The old woman seems to be advising her grandson, gently resting her hand on his head. Conversely, the grandson appears to be pleading with the old woman. You can imagine various emotions from both expressions. How about using it as interior decor? It will surely create a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Seibo Kitamura (December 16, 1884 - March 4, 1987) was a Japanese sculptor from Nagasaki Prefecture. His real name was Nishimo Kitamura. In addition to his most famous work, the "Nagasaki Peace Statue" in Nagasaki Peace Park, he also created other notable sculptures such as the "Itagaki Taisuke" statue in the National Diet Building. He was awarded the Order of Culture. Seibo Kitamura passed away in 1987 at the age of 104. He was a recipient of the Order of Culture and the Order of the Sacred Treasure, as well as being designated as a Person of Cultural Merit. In recognition of Seibo's achievements, the Japan Sculptors Association established an award named the "Seibo Kitamura Award" (Seibo Award) for the best work at the association's exhibitions.
