EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of a Japanese Okimino sculpture in the shape of a demon holding a stick. Carved out of ivory, this figure exudes an air of aggression and movement, with its bent posture and aggressive stance. Standing on one leg, it appears as though it is ready to spring into action at any moment. The ornament is skillfully crafted, capturing every detail of the grotesque male demon. The artist's mastery is evident in the delicate carving that brings this figurine to life. The demon's contorted face reflects its menacing nature, while the stick it holds adds to its aura of power and dominance. Leaning slightly forward, as if about to run or attack, this okimono sculpture embodies both strength and ferocity. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic tradition found in Japanese culture. Displayed at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK, this artwork invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also delve into deeper interpretations regarding folklore or mythology associated with demons in Japanese art. Bridgeman Images has captured this remarkable piece through their lens, allowing us all to admire and contemplate upon the immense talent behind such masterful creations from centuries past.
