    7-06. A truly superb 19th Century Japanese okimono, carved with Tokyo School skill, of a dancing Oni, flailing a large fan, made of a leaf, over his back. I’ve never seen a finer rendering of an Oni, done with meticulous adherence to the legends of the Oni. He has the proper 2 claw-toed feet and 3 claw fingers. The details to teeth and fangs are incredible. He has inlaid black eyes and jeweled necklace, studded with apparent tiny semi-precious stones. This would be a fabulous addition to any collection, and can only appreciate. 7” tall, in superb condition.

A wonderful addition (or gift!) to any collection.                                                                                                                                         Price: $2,995
