About the Item

A very fine and detailed Tokyo School cast bronze okimono (decorative sculpture) of a smiling farmer, Meiji period, late 19th century, Japan. The elderly farmer is portrayed standing upon a patch of earth, a hoe in one hand, an awl in the other. He is dressed in loose fitting clothes, comprised of a kosode under a hanten, both tied at the waist, and a pair of trousers tied above the knees. His feet bare. The short hanten outer garment decorated with beautiful floral roundels. The farmer's face is set in a joyous smile, with a wide, tooth bearing grin on his wrinkled face. His hair in the traditional chonmage style topknot. The bronze wonderfully warm, with a reddish hue to the chocolate brown bronze. The bronze with thin clear lacquer coating.
