Vintage mid-century Japanese export figurine, dating to the 1950s–early 1960s, marked “Made in Japan” on the base. The figure depicts an elderly man seated in a relaxed, contemplative pose, wearing a traditional kimono and holding an abacus (soroban)—a symbol of wisdom, scholarship, and commerce.
Crafted from chalkware or cast composite and hand-painted, this piece features soft matte colors in teal, black, and earth tones. The expressive facial details and casual posture are characteristic of Japanese figurines produced for the post-war export market.
