Vintage Japanese Monkey Statue, Brass, Showa Era (SKU 25S-610)

Exquisite craftsmanship featuring the iconic Japanese Monkey "日本猿 (Nihon-zaru)"

This unique Japanese brass sculpture depicts a monkey dressed in traditional Shinto ceremonial attire, seated gracefully atop a symbolic mound of tanidai—a stylized representation often associated with harvest and prosperity.

The figure’s detailed craftsmanship captures the expressive features of the monkey, a creature revered in Japanese folklore as a divine messenger and guardian spirit. The layered robes, flowing with soft curves, contrast beautifully with the finely textured fur and polished bronze surface, showcasing the artisan’s exceptional skill and attention to form.

Both spiritual and sculptural, this piece embodies harmony between nature, ritual, and artistry—making it a remarkable example of Japanese brass work and a distinguished addition to any collection.
