A charming pair of Occupied Japan hand-painted porcelain bookends featuring musicians dressed in traditional Asian attire. One figure plays a stringed instrument resembling an erhu, while the other holds a pipa. The detailed facial expressions, colorful robes adorned with calligraphic symbols, and intricate craftsmanship make these bookends a unique addition to any vintage decor or Occupied Japan collection. Marked "Made in Occupied Japan" on the bases, these mid-century decorative pieces reflect the post-war Japanese export market's artistry.
