Japanese Wood Okimono Monkey Trainer -Sarumawashi

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most unusual Edo Period 1615-1868 , circa 1820 carved wood okimono depicting a Sarumawashi ( Monkey trainer) this rather naive but none the less charming character carries a monkey slung in a cloth upon his back , with a rope tethering the animal to his wrist, he carries a fan in his other hand , the artist has captured the individual in a static and thoughtful pose, the monkey with his hand out no doubt looking for reward , although unsigned it is likely that this okimono was carved by a Netsuke carver of the late 18th early 19th century , there seems no plausible reason to be carving an item of a scale that decades later would have been produced for the export market as an okimono , we will never know for sure but an educated guess would be a that a Netsuke artist has used his skills to carve this item as a gift or as a commission , whatever the initial reason it has now allowed us the opportunity to feature a very charming , rare and tactile okimono to enhance your Japanese works of art or Netsuke collection.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
