A vintage Japanese bronze statue of "Selflessness Child" by Kome Jiichi (1896-1985). The item is signed by the artist.
"Selflessness Child" is a motif originally appeared in the famous painting by Yokoyama Taikan (1868-1958), titled "Muga." The word “muga” means attaining spiritual enlightenment in the world of Zen. While many painters mostly expressed the enlightenment by painting Buddha and high priests, Taikan expressed it with just an innocent child. The child became a popular motif in the metal work industry as well.
