A LARGE AND POWERFUL WOOD FIGURE OF A WARRIOR

Japan, 18th-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved from attractively grained wood to depict a fierce warrior in a crouching pose, his powerful body compact and seated with both legs bent, his powerful arms showing bulging muscles and with clenched fists, the face rendered with a fierce expression, furrowed brows, and tightly pursed lips, framed by swirling locks of hair carved in high relief. The reverse is carved with an angled section designed to allow the okimono to be placed securely at the corner of a ledger or display stand.

HEIGHT 29 cm (excl. stand), 39 cm (incl. stand)

Provenance: From the collection of Eva & Aubrey Sweet, Melbourne, Australia. With a collection label ‘The Sweet Collection 350’. Eva and Aubrey Sweet devoted over six decades to the formation of a distinguished private collection of Asian art, with particular strength in Chinese jade, Japanese lacquer, and netsuke. Their collecting began in the 1950s and was refined through sustained travel, scholarship, and long associations with leading dealers, curators, and artists internationally. Aubrey, a Melbourne physician who also studied acupuncture in Beijing, and Eva developed a discerning connoisseurship that balanced intuitive appreciation with systematic study, supported by an extensive reference library and active participation in scholarly circles. They acquired works of historic importance as well as contemporary pieces by artists such as Susan Wraight and Unryuan (Kitamura Tatsuo), demonstrating a commitment both to tradition and to the continuity of craft. The collection, housed in their Melbourne residence and affectionately referred to by the family as “the Museum,” stands as a testament to their lifelong dedication to the aesthetic and cultural values of Asian art.
Condition: Very good condition. Few expected natural age cracks and some minor chips to the toes.

With a modern presentation stand.

This sculpture may be an unusually fierce and bold representation of Kintaro, the mythic child hero known for his extraordinary strength and courage. Kintaro, often depicted with wild hair and a muscular build, was raised in the mountains by the supernatural being Yamauba. His legendary feats of strength and bravery have made him a popular subject in Japanese art.
