Japanese Polychrome Wooden Statue

Japanese folk art statue made of lacquered and polychrome wood with sulfide eyes.
Japanese folk art from the Edo/Meiji period
This Japanese sculpture depicts a popular male figure with an expressive and deliberately caricatured face. Standing in a lively pose, the figure adopts an energetic stance, with his left arm raised and his fist clenched. The rendering of the face—prominent cheeks, a pronounced smile, and a lively gaze—reflects the Japanese taste for theatrical and narrative figures inspired by folklore or the performing arts.

The sculpture is carved from wood and then covered with a polychrome lacquer in reddish-brown tones, with some green and black highlights visible on the belt and clothing.
Note: there are signs of wear, scuffing, and areas where the polychrome has worn away.
