Small statue of the face of Okame. Her round cheeks and Heian period hairdo give her head the silhouette of a penis and scrotum. Her open mouth is in the form of a stylized vagina. Shunga of sorts.


Cast bronze with dark brown patina. Good details.

 

H 3 x D 2.25 in.

 

Few casting flaws, otherwise excellent condition

 

This type of erotic statues are regarded as funny rather than erotic. In Japan they are called waraimono, ‘something (or someone) that makes you laugh’.
