Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890

He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below.

This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick.
