A devil dressed in priest robes hunches down, prayer beads clutched in one gnarled claw, an incense burner held up to his sleepy visage, a humorous image carved from a single block of wood by Hirata Masaya (1900-1980) enclosed in the original signed wooden box dated Showa 35 (1960) and titled Sui-ko (Drunk on Incense). It is 25 x 20 x 26.5 cm and is in excellent condition.
