This statue, made with 2000 pieces of wood all joined together without a single nail was on display at Bloch's curio store in a block which was dewtroyed in the 1906 fire. How saved seems unknown, but when it turned up it became, in 1935, part of the Believe It or Not collection. Flyer (or brochure, or handbill) is in fine condition with just a tiny corner-tip crease which we have left alone. Promoter Bloch's prose is over the top, but so is Masakichi's craftwork.

It survived and now lives in Amsterdam in just such a museum.
