EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-carved figurine depicts Ryomin, a Daoist Immortal inspired by the renowned Japanese monk Yoshimura Shuzan, dating back to the early to mid-19th century. The immortal is shown in a full-length, standing position, with a serene expression and a thoughtful gaze as he inspects his belly with a hand placed on his tummy. His long, flowing beard and wild, untamed facial hair are characteristic of the Daoist Immortals, symbolizing their reclusiveness and spiritual attainment. The immaculately detailed carving showcases Ryomin's traditional Daoist attire, complete with intricately designed robes and accessories. The figure is expertly crafted from rich, brown wood, adding to its antique charm and authenticity. The immortal's stomach is exposed, emphasizing the belief in the importance of cultivating inner energy and longevity in Daoist philosophy. This statuette is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia during the 19th century. It is a rare and precious find for any museum or collector of Asian art, providing a glimpse into the spiritual practices and beliefs of the time. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the figurine make it a stunning addition to any collection or display, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries of Daoism and immortality.
