TOMOCHIKA: A RARE IVORY THREE-CASE INRO IN THE FORM OF A TEMPLE BELL AND DEPICTING BENKEI, WITH IVORY NETSUKE AND OJIME The inro by a member of the Tomochika family, signed Tomochika 友親Japan, Tokyo, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)The inro impressively carved in the form of the bell of Mii-dera, with Benkei trying to carry the massive bell and a young Yoshitsune running behind him, likely they are being chased by the shrouded samurai on the other side of the inro, all surmounted by a coiled dragon writhing around a magic jewel (tama) inlaid in coral, cleverly masking the nerve plug and natural cracks. With a finely carved ivory ojime in the form of Daruma and an ivory netsuke of a resting farmer.HEIGHT 8 cm (the inro), HEIGHT 4.2 cm (the netsuke), HEIGHT 1.6 cm (the ojime)Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few minuscule chips to edges, small natural age cracks.Provenance: British collection.According to legend, the bell of Mii-dera temple in Kyoto was stolen once by the famous warrior monk Benkei, who dragged it up to the summit of Mount Hiei. There, he tried to strike it and was angered when the bell rang, “eeno eeno”, which means “I want to go back” in the Kansai dialect. Benkei then threw the bell down to the bottom of the valley, causing it quite some damage which has remained to this day.Accurate biographical information about Benkei's career is difficult to obtain, mainly because the legends of his exploits are so deeply entrenched in Japanese Mythology. Benkei will forever be the companion of Japan's greatest folk hero, Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159-1189) and the passing years will enhance rather than diminish his status, further clouding his role during the political intrigue between Yoshitsune and his brother, Yoritomo.
