The present lot is attributed to Tomohisa, who belongs to an important group of 18th-century figure carvers, which also includes Mototada. About this group, Jay Hopkins writes, “Working in staghorn, they primarily produced large figures ranging from 3 to 6 inches in height. Subject matter usually involved Chinese legends, including Shoki, sennin, Kann’u, guardians and entertainers. They effectively used black horn to inlay eye pupils, buttons and other details – perhaps the earliest cavers to use this technique.” (Moss, Sydney L. (2016) Kokusai The Genius: and Stag-antler Carving in Japan, p. 30)Literature comparison: Four similar netsuke from the Tomohisa group, though depicting different subjects, are illustrated in Moss, Sydney L. (2016) Kokusai The Genius: and Stag-antler Carving in Japan, Vol. I, p. 31, fig. 13.

TEIJI: A MASTERFUL LACQUERED AND CERAMIC-INLAID MANJU OF AN OCTOPUS IN A POT (TAKO TSUBO) By Teiji, signed Teiji 貞二Japan, Nagoya, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Published: Chappell and Welch (1999) Netsuke, The Art of Japanese Miniature Carving, no. 239.The netsuke of manju shape and lacquered in almost black, dark green, the interior revealing a masterful ceramic-inlaid octopus, one of the suckered tentacles breaking through an opening in the wicker structure and extending towards the reverse. The octopus has a fierce expression with veins on his forehead and a pressed forward funnel-shaped mouth, the eyes are highlighted in gold. The ceramic cephalopod is glazed in red with black accents brilliantly imitating negoro-lacquer. The reverse with the gold-lacquered two-character signature TEIJI and the two asymmetrical himotoshi.The depiction here is likely a variation of the tako tsubo motif, the pot here shown from the top view. The manju could also represent a submerged object which the octopus uses as its lair, as these animals preferred dark crevices or caves as their hiding spots (hence they were also trapped in pots). The design of this netsuke is very clever, one wonders how the octopus entered his lair (or how the artist managed to inlay this netsuke!).DIAMETER 4 cmCondition: Good condition, some wear to lacquer including tiny hairlines and surface scratches. Some expected firing flaws and a crack through one of the octopus’ tentacles.Provenance: Ex-collection Richard R. Silverman, purchased from Konishi Gallery, LA, in 1993. Richard R.

Richard Silverman was posthumously awarded the Order of the Rising Sun for his decades-long promotion of Japanese culture. Teiji, pupil of Seiji, was originally a potter and made unique netsuke with ceramic inlays. The quality of his ceramic inlay is arguably unequaled in netsuke. Teiji made several netsuke depicting octopi, most like the one cited in the literature comparison. The present model appears to be unique.Literature comparison:Compare to a related netsuke in the Toledo Museum of Art (gifted by the former owner of the present netsuke, Richard R. Silverman), accession no. 2009.154.
