EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Ikkaku: The One-Horned Immortal, a mid-19th century sculpture from the School of Nagai Rantei. Hailing from Japan, this intricately hand-carved figurine is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia during the nineteenth century. The One-Horned Immortal is depicted as an elderly woman, clad in traditional Japanese clothing with a double-headed, one-horned headdress. Her apparel is adorned with sumi red pigment inlays, adding a pop of color to the ivory carving. The woman's expression is both frightening and fearful, with wide-open eyes and an open mouth as if screaming. Her double-headed headdress, a symbol of immortality, seems to be the source of her alarm. The intricate carving and attention to detail are evident in the close-up view of her face and clothing. This full-length sculpture, standing proudly as a statuette, is a striking example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Rantei School of Nagai. The figure's aged appearance and frightening expression evoke a sense of both awe and apprehension, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of Asian art or historical objects. This image is a studio shot of the sculpture, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a detailed and up-close look at this unique and intriguing work of art.
