EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-carved figurine of a crouching fox, titled "Fox" and created by the renowned Japanese artist Shomosai during the early 19th century, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The meticulously crafted fox, with its sly expression and intricately detailed accessories such as a wooden collar with silver lacquer and a carved wooden dress, is a testament to the masterful artistry of the time. The fox, a common motif in Japanese folklore and symbolizing cunning and transformation, is depicted in a close-up, studio shot that invites viewers to appreciate the intricacies of the carving and the vibrant colors of the lacquer. This precious artifact, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an invaluable addition to the museum's collection of Asian art and a reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the 1800s. The fox's posture, with its head turned back, adds an element of mystery and intrigue, making it a favorite among collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
