This is an elegant pair of sculptural artworks by Sōtarō Saegusa, a distinguished Japanese sculptor known for his participation in the prestigious Nitten Exhibition (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition). The set consists of two animal sculptures: a rabbit and a dog, both rendered in a highly stylized, modern form. Cast in metal and finished with a refined gold-toned surface, these works emphasize simplified volumes and flowing contours rather than realistic detail, reflecting a strong sense of modern Japanese sculpture. The rabbit sculpture features a dynamic, crescent-like posture with elongated ears, creating a graceful balance between stillness and motion. The dog sculpture, compact and grounded, conveys warmth and strength through its rounded body and curled tail. The subtly textured surfaces enhance the depth of the metal and catch light beautifully from different angles. Both works are accompanied by their original presentation box and an artist information sheet, underscoring their authenticity and collectible value. These sculptures work wonderfully as interior art objects, appealing to collectors of modern sculpture, Japanese art, and animal-themed works.
