Exceptional Japanese Bronze Decorative Piece – After Shoami Katsuyoshi
This remarkable Japanese bronze sculpture is inspired by a design of Shoami Katsuyoshi, a renowned Japanese metalwork master from the Meiji era (1868–1912).
The sculpture depicts a monkey embracing a gourd, a scene full of character and symbolism, crafted with exquisite attention to detail and expressive charm. In Japanese tradition and art (netuke), a monkey holding a gourd (hyotan) typically symbolizes abundance, good fortune, and protection against misfortune. The gourd, a common amulet, represents prosperity and health, while the monkey acts as a guardian or energetic mediator of that abundance.
The figure displays meticulously modeled fur textures and a rich, dark patina developed over time, enhancing its authenticity and visual depth. The gourd is naturally integrated into the composition, providing balance and verticality, making this piece a striking sculptural object.
Perfect for: collectors of Japanese art, lovers of antique bronze, or as a unique decorative object for display in cabinets, shelves, or desks.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece that combines art, history, and character—rarely found on the market today.
