This vintage carving is a stunning product of Japanese-style craftsmanship.

This figurine stands twelve inches tall. It is made of wood with a solid medium brown color. You cannot see any grain in the wood. This piece is expertly carved in the form of a fisherman. He is standing on a square platform with carved leaf and flora patterns. The man looks like he is mid-step an one foot is elevated above the other. An old-fashioned water jug rests at his right leg.

The fisherman himself is the product of stunning craftsmanship. He is wearing a skirt around his waist that is painted red. A length of rope is slung around his shoulder and a caught fish is slung off the rope. The man's face is fixed with a cheerful smile. The detail is stunning: the artist even carved wrinkles in the man's forehead. He has a long pointed beard that reaches down to his chest and his hair is tied in a knot at the top of his head.

This vintage piece is in fair condition. There is a small crack at the rear of the fisherman and the paint is slightly chipped. Please refer to the provides photos to get a better sense of the specific characteristics of this piece. This is a unique collectible and a rare chance to own a special vintage Japanese carved piece.
