Rare Japanese Meiji (late 19thC) copper spiny lobster crab sculpture (okimono), with articulated jizai (hinged) legs, body and antennae. Signed underneath by Myochin Hiroyoshi. The scale model is accurately portrayed with all the anatomical characteristics of a real spiny lobster. Measures 23cm wide x 9cm deep x 3cm high, weight 33g.
Excellent condition and patina – no damage or repairs.
From the 17th century, the production of articulated (jizai) models began with relatively peaceful Edo era (1600-1868) in Japan. During this period the master metal craftsmen who made the samurai armour turned to the production of these collectors’ items. Articulated works of art typically represent crustaceans and insects, but also birds, fish, snakes and mythical animals such as dragons.
