Antique sculpture "Monkey". Made from bronze. Japan, XX century


In Japanese mythology, the monkey plays an important role and is often mentioned in folklore. Every sixtieth day of the Eastern calendar has traditionally been dedicated to the monkey, which is considered the zodiac animal in the Japanese horoscope. On such days, people did not go to bed and prayed to the monkey god for health and longevity for themselves and their loved ones. The image of a monkey is ubiquitous in oriental art, as an image associated with prosperity, insight and longevity.
