Superb Japanese Antique (early 20thc) Bronze Of A Tanuki, Masamitsu
Status:This item has been sold Sold by:Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art
Fine Japanese bronze sculpture of a tanuki represented as a Buddhist priest, wrapped in a cloak and lying on a mokugyo (a percussion instrument made of a fish-shaped wooden block and a stick, used to accompany the recitation of sutras). Inscribed ‘made by Masamitsu’ (Yamashita Josetsu). 10cm high x 18.5cm wide x 15cm deep, weight 1kg.
The tanuki (raccoon dog) is a legendary Japanese animal with magical powers and can transform itself. Mischievous, it uses its long tail to curl up, hide or to confuse its enemies.
Very good condition. Few age marks.
