Lovely green patinated bronze okimono 置物 of Ninomiya Sontoku 二宮 尊徳..

The famous agricultural leader depicted as a boy, standing on a naturalistically cast base, reading a passage from an incised book, the Great Learning 大学 (Daigaku), while carrying bundles of brushwood cast in openwork secured by ropes on his back, his face neatly detailed with a soft expression.

Ninomiya Sontoku (1787-1856), also known as Ninomiya Kinjiro, was a prominent 19th-century Japanese agricultural leader, philosopher, moralist, and economist. It is not uncommon to see statues of Ninomiya in or in front of Japanese schools, especially elementary schools. Typically, they show him as a boy reading a book while walking and carrying firewood on his back. These statues depict popular stories that said Ninomiya was reading and studying every moment he could.

The book held in the boy’s hand is incised with a passage from the Great Learning. one of the ‘Four Books’ in Confucianism attributed to one of Confucius' disciples, Zengzi. The passage reads, “When one family becomes humane, the whole country will be stimulated to be humane. When one family becomes easy to get along with, all the people in the country are stimulated to become easy to get along with. If one man greedily upsets things, the whole country can be plunged into chaos. Its function is really like this. Hence there is the saying “one word can win the whole affair; one man can settle the whole kingdom.”

The back incised with the signature ‘Made by Shûzan’ 秀山作 (Shûzan saku) and the base signed ‘Hôtokugai’ 報德会.

Period: Japan – Meiji period (1868-1912).

Dimensions:
Height 47 cm, Width 17 cm, Depth 17 cm.
Weight 7.6 kg.

In a very good original condition with minor wear and casting flaws.. Please have a look at the photos for a clear condition reference.
