Japan, Aïnu people (Aïnou), 19th century, Meiji or earlier era, rare and attractive polychrome wooden statue of a standing Aïnou man wearing a short-sleeved kimono. His right arm is raised in a solemn manner, while his left remains at his side. His eyes are made of glass. The Ainu people, originally from northern Japan and particularly the island of Hokkaido, have a culture very distinct from that of Japan. Such a statue is unusual and an interesting testimony to Ainu art. Note the attention to detail, both on the subject's body and clothing. Good condition, despite visible cracks and wear. Height 53 cm. The scale indicator on the last photograph is a small lighter of a well-known brand.
