Scultura Ainu dell’Hokkaidō – Coppia tradizionale su base...

Interesting pair of wooden sculptures depicting an Ainu man and woman, indigenous people of Hokkaidō, in northern Japan. The composition comes from Lake Akan, Hokkaidō, an important area tied to Ainu culture and traditional craftsmanship. Particularly interesting is the original base, which preserves an inscription with the place and a precise date: Lake Akan, June 5, 1987 (Shōwa 62). The male figure also bears the artist’s signature/engraving. The inscription seems to be linked to Bibai Mingeisha / Koyama, known for wooden sculptures connected to Ainu culture. The two figures retain rich incised detailing, especially visible in the garments and decorative motifs. Details: Male figure: 23 × 10 × 10 cm – 522 g Female figure: 18 × 10 × 8 cm – 307 g Original base: 20 × 10 × 2 cm – 147 g Total weight: about 976 g Japan, Hokkaidō Carved wood Shōwa period – 1987 Signature/engraving on the male figure Original base inscribed and dated Photographs are an integral part of the description and accurately show the condition, details and inscriptions of the work. — Nostalgia Wave Store
