About the Item

A bronze okimono of an owl, constructed in two sections, the short-eared owl (detachable) perched on a tree branch with its head cocked quizzically to the right and its wings folded at its sides. Signed Murata Seimin (村田製眠, 1761-1837): rectangular cartouche with inscribed "Seimin chu", "made by Seimin" on the side of the branch. Murata Seimin specialized in lost-wax bronze. Much of his work was on Buddhist subjects, such as the casting of 500 arhats (disciples of Buddha) at Kenchoji Temple in Kamakura. He also made vases and decorative objects.
