FAQs

An okimono is a traditional Japanese decorative statue or figurine, typically displayed in an alcove, which gained prominence during the Meiji period as craftsmanship flourished for export and domestic markets.

These pieces were typically cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, often featuring intricate hand-chased details, patination, and mixed metal elements like silver or gold inlay.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit high-grade casting precision, naturalistic ageing of the patina, and often carry artist signatures or foundry seals cast into the base or underside.

Such sculptural objects serve as striking focal points on minimalist console tables, within bookshelves, or atop low sideboards, where their texture and historical depth can be appreciated.

Bronze should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and occasionally treated with microcrystalline wax to protect the patina, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or water.
