Japanese vintage 1960s pottery Monkey Shrine Dancing doll statue with Kanji signature, animal ornament hand craft For GIFT H6.1in/H15.5cm.

This is an old ceramic monkey figurine. It is humorous in the way it dances the 神楽Kagura (Shinto music and dance) dedicated at a shrine.
Holding a bell in his hand, he is a good and dynamic piece. He wears a hat called a 烏帽子 eboshi and holds a tool used in Shinto purification called GOHEI御幣 in his hand.
There is an inscription in Kanji characters on the reverse side. It is in good condition and comes in a wooden box, making it a good gift.
