A minutely carved image of a bat cirling over a planted pine-bonsai in the light of the moon just showing through the dark clouded sky. The piece is cut from a round of susu-take, bamboo taken from a roof which is stained a rich amber from a century or more of smoke. The light color on top forming the clouds is a natural rope mark where the smoke did not penetrate to the wood (the bamboo would have been secured to the beams with a rope). A fine carving, the bamboo is 7 inches (18 cm) long, 2 ...click for details

A mischevious shojo sprite pads forward with a long dipping scoop over his shoulder, a huge pot behind (likely filled with rice wine as the shojo is very fond of drink).

The piece is 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) tall, roughly -3/4 inches (7 cm) diameter at the base and dated 1901.

An incredibly realistic image of a gidaiyu gripping the sides of his book stand as he rises up to let fly a great bellow. Glass eyes and thick colored gofun are reminiscent of the iki-ningyo (living dolls) of the period. The figure is 57 cm (23 inches) tall, and requires a display space 40 x 55 cm (16 x 22 inches). There is some minor damage (chips in the gofun covering), on the tips of his shoulder wings, top of his chonmage topknot, and the left hand has been re-carved, but very well done; ...click for details
