Matango Ceramic Sculpture
aka Yakimon Fungus Man Statue in 2 collections
This is a ceramic sculpture from Munktiki's Yakimon line. The character of Matango is from a 1963 Japanese tokusatsu movie. It was directed by IshirÅ Honda, and written by Takeshi Kimura based on the story "The Voice in the Night" by William Hope Hodgson. The movie has developed a cult audience over the years, partly due to its bleakness and unusual themes, particularly when compared to other Japanese fantasy and science fiction films of the same period
