EDITORS COMMENTS
This Okimono, or decorative Japanese ceramic figure, dates back to the 19th century and depicts a costumed monkey in a seated position. The monkey, with its expressive face and intricate attire, is a fine example of the artistic traditions of Hirado Ware, a type of porcelain produced in the Japanese port city of Hirado. The monkey's costume, featuring a vibrant red robe and a white headdress adorned with intricate patterns, adds a sense of playfulness and whimsy to the piece. The monkey's sincere expression and the careful attention to detail in its clothing suggest a deep appreciation for the art of dress and the importance of authenticity and sincerity in Japanese culture. This Okimono is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the continent of Asia. Its intricate design and exquisite craftsmanship make it a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or decorative ceramics. The monkey's white color and clear glaze give it a timeless quality, making it a stunning centerpiece for any room or a thoughtful gift for a loved one with an appreciation for the arts. This image, taken in a studio setting, provides a close-up view of the Okimono's intricate details and allows us to fully appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The monkey's costume and expressive face are sure to bring a smile to your face and add a touch of exotic charm to your home or office. This unknown masterpiece is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
