Rare Edo Period traditional Dojin-yaki finely Carved Monkey Figurine

About the Item

This exceptional Edo-period sculpture depicts a seated monkey in an incredibly lifelike manner, with finely carved details and expressive features. Made using traditional Dojin-yaki (土人形) or regional folk pottery techniques, this piece showcases the craftsmanship of an unnamed master artisan. Details: • Period: Edo (1603–1868) • Material: Clay with natural pigments • Dimensions: H 32 cm × W 26 cm × D 23 cm • Weight: 2,345 g • Condition: Some minor signs of age, as shown in the images Description: The monkey is depicted in a naturalistic seated pose, holding a partially eaten fruit, with a facial expression full of emotion. The careful detailing of the fur texture and the hand-painted highlights around the eyes, ears, and mouth bring a striking realism to the piece. Such finely carved Edo-period monkey sculptures are exceedingly rare, especially in this state of preservation. This piece reflects the Japanese reverence for nature and animals, as well as the artistic skill of Edo-period folk craftsmen. For collectors of Japanese antiques, Mingei folk art, and Edo-period sculpture, this is an exceptional acquisition. For additional details or photos, please feel free to contact us.

Japanese Wood Carved Polychrome Sculpture of a Seated Temple Monk, Edo Period

Located in Studio City, CA

This is truly a wonderful piece with clear age and a nice patina to it. Very unique. We have not seen another quite like it. The monk appears to have glass eyes which gives his expression a very humanistic feel. The head is removable (please see the last image). From a collection of Japanese arts and artifacts. Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
