The wood carving, Virgin and Child on the Crescent, was acquired by the Department of Art and Design, Faculty of Education, Iwate University, around 1960. It was purchased as art-education material for students, and the relevant art-historical research has not been conducted in the 50 years since its acquisition. This study elucidates the background of the workʼs production, as well as the reception of such Christian art in modern Japan. This paper is the first report of the study.The first part of the paper describes the characteristics of the sculpture, based on visual observation. The second part presents the results of wood identification research, as preparation for art historical investigation. The third part reveals when and where the work was executed, based on iconographic analysis, and elucidates its function through consideration of the cultural environment. The fourth part explores the context of the purchase of the work by Iwate University.In sum, the limewood sculpture was produced in Southern Germany in the second half of the fifteenth century, and the iconography of “Virgin and Child on the Crescent” is closely related to the cult of the Virgin Mary, which was widespread in Germany before the Protestant Reformation. In Japan, the sculpture was originally located in Kobe, where many Germans have lived since the opening of the country.
