MITSUTA HARUO: A SUPERB MIXED-METAL JIZAI OKIMONO OF A GIANT HORNET

By Mitsuta Haruo (born 1980), sealed to the box Haru
Japan, 21st century, Heisei period (1989-2019)

Depicting a giant hornet (suzumebachi, Vespa mandarinia japonica), the copper, brass and gold-plated insect is naturalistically constructed of numerous hammered parts jointed together with movable wings, head, mandibles, abdomen, and jointed legs, all fitted into the realistically rendered thorax. The distinctive stinger is constructed with a mechanism to spring out corresponding to the abdomen's movement.

HEIGHT 3.5 cm, LENGTH 5.8 cm (max wingspan)
WEIGHT 7.1 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, a minuscule loss to the tip of one antenna.
Provenance: From a noted private collection.

With the original wood box, the cover sealed HARU.

Mitsuta Haruo (b. 1980) was born in Yonago, Japan. He has won several awards, including the Grand Prize of “The 2nd Art Plaza Grand Prize – Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music” in 2007. Mitsuta Haruo produces metal sculptures of insects, crustaceans, and other ‘creepy-crawlies’ with obsessively detailed and extraordinarily lifelike precision. His inspiration is jizai okimono, a jointed, movable metal sculpture invented in Japan in the 1700s that emphasizes careful attention to realistic detail.

The Japanese giant hornet is an especially ferocious insect colloquially known as the yak-killer hornet. It is the world’s largest hornet. The insects are organized in a huge society centered around the queen; to protect her, the hornets will attack even large animals. The death toll caused by their stings exceeds that of wild bears and venomous snakes, making them the deadliest wild animal in Japan.
