Description from the seller
A Tokyo school ivory okimono depicting a sarumawashi standing with a monkey on his shoulder.
The man holds a branch of persimmons (kaki) in his left hand, likely intended as a reward after the performance. The monkey, carved with striking liveliness, leans toward the fruit, attempting to grasp it.
Signed underneath the base.
The okimono is in good condition. There are some natural ivory hairlines. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
Okimono (置物), combining the kanji "oki" (置き, to place) and "mono" (物, object), refers to a decorative object meant for display. Okimono, popular in the Meiji period (1868 - 1912), were finely crafted sculptures made from materials such as ivory, boxwood, wood, and bronze.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
This lot complies with the current European Community regulations for the trade of pre-1947 worked ivory. The original CITES certificate will be delivered together with the object (valid only within the European Union).
