Reclining and compactly curling to his left, the goat raises his head slightly and with the corners of his mouth turned upwards bears a somewhat bemused expression. The himotoshi is formed by a gap between his legs. The hair-work is very finely carved, the wood is stained dark red-brown. Signed Ittan, with kao on a polished oval reserve.
