A RARE LARGE POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF A SEATED SAMURAI WARRIOR, EARLY EDO PERIOD Japan, 17th century, early Edo period (1615–1868) The yosegi-zukuri figure finely carved seated, with the left arm resting upon the slightly raised left knee and the right hand formerly grasping an attribute now lost. The face is rendered with remarkable character, featuring deeply carved wrinkles, pronounced cheeks, furrowed brows, and glass-inlaid eyes, creating a vivid and expressive presence. The warrior is depicted wearing a full suit of early Japanese armour, including shoulder guards (sode), thigh protection (haidate), and shin guards (suneate), partially covered by a short battle surcoat (jinbaori). The surface retains extensive traces of the original polychromy, including black, white, and red pigments, revealing the former richness of the figure’s decoration. HEIGHT 45 cm Figures of armored warriors of this type are exceptionally rare and were created to commemorate distinguished samurai, military leaders, or daimyo lords. The present example, with its large scale, expressive physiognomy, and surviving traces of polychromy, reflects the high level of craftsmanship applied to the representation of the warrior elite during the early Edo period
