EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing wood and metal figurine depicts Ashinaga and Tenaga, two legendary figures from Japanese folklore, dating back to the late 18th to early 19th century. The pair is believed to have originated from the Kansai region of Japan. Ashinaga, the tall figure, is shown carrying Tenaga on his back, with one hand gently supporting Tenaga's waist. Tenaga, the smaller figure, is often depicted as a mischievous demon or spirit. The intricate carvings on the figurine reveal the skillful hand of the unknown artist. Ashinaga's clothing, consisting of a long robe and a wide-brimmed hat, is adorned with intricate patterns and colors, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. Tenaga's body is carved with detailed textures, conveying a sense of playful mischief. The use of wood and metal in the creation of this figurine is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese handicrafts. The wood, with its natural grain and texture, contrasts beautifully with the metallic accents, adding depth and dimension to the piece. This figurine is a captivating representation of the folk life and folklore of Japan during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence art, fashion, and design, both in Japan and around the world. This image is a studio shot of the figurine, which is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The figurine's intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art.
