KOKUSAI: A RYUSA MANJU NETSUKE WITH A WATERWHEEL AND COINSBy Kokusai, signed Koku 谷Japan, Shiba, Tokyo, late 19th centuryOf oval form, inlaid in sentoku bronze with a waterwheel with a flowering branch on top, flanked by two paulownia leaves and encircled by scrolling vines, the underside with two coins, one of which shows the seal signature KOKU which forms himotoshi, encircled by raised bosses. Pierced twice for suspension.WIDTH 4.1 cmCondition: Very good condition, appealingly worn, few minuscule nicks. Fine, dark patina.Provenance: European collection.According to Paul Moss, "The waterwheel had been used to process grain - mainly rice (and thus, and importantly sake) - since the seventh century in Japan. With the coming of the Meiji era, more modern industrial techniques began to proliferate, and the use of waterwheels diminished. Perhaps this design is supposed to harken back to better days and serve as a reference to both Kokusai's rice dealing family background and the benefits of a regular sake intake. […] It has also been suggested that the overall design resembles a wood wheel from an ox-drawn carriage, as used by nobles in Heian Japan." (Sydney L. Moss Ltd., 2016, Kokusai the Genius: and Stag-antler Carving in Japan, vol. II, p. 152)Literature comparison: Compare a related stag antler ryusa manju attributed to Kokusai, illustrated in Sydney L.

A RARE BRONZE OKIMONO OF A PEKINGESE DOGJapan, Meiji period (1868-1912)Cast standing on all fours, wearing a ruffle collar tied around the neck, the head turned to one side with a quizzical expression, the eyes gilt with dark pupils, the mane, fur and tail well rendered and paws neatly articulated.

The breed was favored by royalty of the Imperial court as both a lap dog and companion dog, and its name refers to Peking (Beijing) where the Forbidden City is located. The breed has several characteristics related to its unique appearance.During the Second Opium War, in 1860, the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was occupied by a contingent of British and French troops. The Xianfeng Emperor had fled with all of his court to Chengde. However, the elderly Consort Chang remained. When the British and French troops entered, she committed suicide. She was found with her five Pekingese. They were removed by the Allies before the Summer Palace was burnt to the ground.John Hart Dunne, Captain of the 99th Regiment of Foot, who participated in the Second Opium War and ransacked the Summer Palace, gifted one of these Pekingese to Queen Victoria in April 1861, writing to her in a letter: "This little dog was found by me in the Palace of Yuan-Ming-Yuan near Pekin on the 6th of October 1860. It is supposed to have belonged to either the Empress, or one of the ladies of the Imperial Family. It is a most affectionate and intelligent little creature - it has always been accustomed to being treated as a pet and it was with the hope that it might be looked upon as such by Her Majesty and the Royal Family that I have brought it from China." (David Matthews, Jo Lee Magazine, November 2002, page 18). Rather insensitively, the Queen and first owner of a Pekingese in the West, named her new pet 'Looty'.Auction comparison: Compare a closely related bronze figure of a Pekingese with a ball at Christie's, 20 October 2000, New York, lot 10 (sold for 21,150 USD).
