Gitchin Funakoshi -Karate icon, bust on wood base

Gitchin is, according to Wikipedia, the father of modern karate. For this much the man deserves a bust as a modern hero of 20th century culture and beyond....perhaps farther beyond than any of the literary or many of the musical heroes in this catalog!

Note that the head will be shipped detached. If I glued it into the base (as you can with a few drops of superglue) the aluminum wire could bend in shipping and crack the base of his neck, and I would have to send you another.
