Okimono of a peasant with tools, Japan, 19th century Carved ivory sculpture. Measures 10 cm. This okimono depicts a Japanese artisan or peasant engaged in daily activity, standing and dressed in traditional clothing. The figure holds an agricultural tool in one hand and a vegetable in the other, alluding to manual labor and rural life. At his feet lies a stylized tree trunk that serves as a narrative element and visual support for the scene. The figure is characterized by expressive modeling, with well-defined volumes and a natural pose that conveys restrained dynamism. The ivory has a smooth, uniform patina, consistent with its age. The scene reflects the interest of 19th-century Japanese art in everyday themes, elevating the ordinary to a representation of aesthetic and symbolic value.
