Ninomiya Sontoku was a prominent 19th-century Japanese agricultural leader, philosopher, moralist and economist. Ninomiya Sontoku emphasized the importance of compound interest which was not well understood among samurai and peasants. It is not uncommon to see statues of Ninomiya in or in front of Japanese schools, especially elementary schools. Typically these statues show him as a boy reading a book while walking and carrying firewood on his back. These statues are depicting popular stories that said Ninomiya was reading and studying during every moment he shops could.
This statue is in very good vintage condition.
WEIGHT: 1.485 kgs (Becomes more heavier when packed so freight becomes expensive too)
