An ivory figural okimono
Tokyo school, Meiji era, late 19th century
Possibly depicting Yaegiri-hime and her son Kintaro, the sensitively rendered beauty with the long hair of a court lady-in-waiting and wearing the uchikake and kimono associated with her samurai status, the pump child held in her hands suspending a branch of flowering wisteria above the figures of three monkeys, the finely incised details heightened with dark pigment, signed Shun[nen] above a carved seal (losses).
