A VERY RARE IVORY NETSUKE OF A MAN WITH A COIN IN HIS MOUTHSigned Okatomo 岡友Japan, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Published: Sagemonoya (2011) Netsuke Opus 20, no. 27.A finely carved ivory netsuke of a man clad only in a fundoshi and cowering over a tub, his hands gripping the edge, a large coin visible in his mouth. The expression is superbly carved, this mysterious act seems to be causing the man great pain. The subject itself appears to be unique, or at the very least seen very rarely and there is no immediately plausible explanation. Gabor Wilhelm writes in the 2011 Sagemonoya “Netsuke Opus 20” publication: “Is this man spitting gold coins into his basin? Or is he attempting to win a wager consisting of trying to retrieve a gold coin without using his hands? To the French it could be a literal depiction of cracher au bassinet, a loose English translation would be “paying through one's nose” [or in this case mouth]". Natural himotoshi and not entirely convincing signature OKATOMO underneath.HEIGHT 3.3 cmCondition: Very good condition, minor surface wear.Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.

A NARWHAL TUSK NETSUKE OF AN OXHERD AND OX, ATTRIBUTED TO GARAKUAttributed to Risuke Garaku, unsignedJapan, Osaka, second half of 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The small boy wearing a loose robe and holding the rope halter of a recumbent ox as he tries to clamber onto its back, the underside well carved with the boy's and ox's legs, two asymmetrical himotoshi, and a characteristic oban-shaped reserve.LENGTH 5.5 cmCondition: Wear, natural age cracks, a larger circumferential crack, the tail with a small loss. Overall good condition. Provenance: European collection.The oban-shaped reserve to one of the hind legs is an invention of Garaku. Raymond Bushell writes, “Garaku preserved a section of the spirally grooved bark in the shape of an oban (gold coin) on which he carved his signature – an innovation – […] The signed oban-shaped reserve in narwhal is distinctively the work of Garaku of the Soken Kisho. Unsigned narwhal netsuke with this characteristic oban-shaped reserve, and otherwise consistent, may be attributed to Garaku with the utmost confidence.” (Collector's Netsuke, 1971, p. 44).Literature comparison:A near-identical narwhal tusk netsuke attributed to Garaku I or II and depicting a herdboy and ox, with the same unsigned oban-shaped reserve as on the present netsuke, is illustrated in Moss (2008) Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On, p. 56-57, no. 20.
