An entire group of blindmen, with closed eyes, bumps on their heads and empty expressions, pouncing on each other, two of them with clubs, one has fallen on his back, a small dog beside him. A masterful, minutely sculptural work with a dense composition. A parasol and the himotoshi and the signature RYOJI in a rounded reserve on the underside. The ivory stained and of a very good color with an excellent finish. The artist was a student of Ono Ryomin in Tokyo.
