After some time, he came back riding a carp, with thousands joyfully awaiting him on the shore. But he couldn’t stand it for very long and disappeared once more, forever. In this okimono, Kinko is dressed in Chinese clothing, holds a bamboo stick in his hand and has a hyotan on his back with the elixir of immortality. Very good work. on this rare JAPANESE KUTANI PORCELAIN STATUE
