<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2914732, member: 8267&quot;]There is a pair of supernatural monsters in Japanese folklore known as Ashinaga-jin and Tenaga-jin. Ashinaga has very long legs and short arms, while Tenaga has long arms and short legs. They work cooperatively in various activities, such as fishing. The face of the wooden figure looks Japanese to me, so perhaps he is a Ashinaga-jin.</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Kuniyoshi_Ashinagatenaga.jpg/220px-Kuniyoshi_Ashinagatenaga.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]286279[/ATTACH]</p><p>ukiyo-e by Utagawa Kuniyoshi&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/10153" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/10153" rel="nofollow">https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/10153</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
