The pattern of holes in the base differs, so they were not made with a 3D printer... ;-)

If one of you has it, I salute you!

Full marks for finding the Chogetsu - Chokaro (or Chokwaro) sennin online. Just in case you are not familiar with his legend, here is the best version I could find online:
A Rishi, or sennin, is a personage, part spirit, part divinity. Chokwaro is identifiable by the gourd he carries which is the abode of his horse, which he can call upon at any time to be transported wherever he wants. The animal was believed to be able to travel unlimited distances, without food, water, or rest.
The language of the legend is quite poetic, “This wonderful animal could carry him for thousands of miles at a time, and required no fodder, the Sennin keeping it in a gourd when not otherwise in use, and simply spraying water from his mouth upon the dried up and shrivelled form to get it ready for a fresh trip. Chokwaro is always shown with his gourd, and mule/horse, or, as a pun, the Koma (horse) pawn of the game of chess. Often the mule is shown alone, in Netsuke, escaping from the gourd, or wrapped in cobwebs inside the gourd.
The back of the sennin you posted is this:
By the way, talking of the last sentence in the above legend, I have a nice old netsuke - from one side it looks as if the horse is emerging from the gourd, from the other side - it is returning into the gourd:
