This is Halloween, a netsuke by Toun Shishido on display at the Tokyo National Museum.
Recently in Japan, many people—especially the younger generation—have stopped going door-to-door for Halloween. Instead, they gather in costume in Shibuya, a popular downtown youth hub. However, crowd sizes have dropped by nearly 80% this year. While this is great for preventing the spread of viruses, it’s also a shame, as it deprives people of a chance to have fun.
