Additional Information: This Japanese okimono wood carving from the Meiji period captures a figure of quiet authority and refined presence. The older man, dressed in a flowing robe, holds a fan and ceremonial ornament, rendered with striking precision and enhanced by the use of natural materials that add depth, contrast, and realism. Every carved detail—from the drape of the garment to the posture of the figure—reflects the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic discipline that defined Meiji-era sculpture. Resting on a wood base, the piece carries a grounded yet commanding presence.
