SARI: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A SNAIL EMERGING FROM ITS SHELLBy Sari, signed Sari 左里Japan, Iwashiro, early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Beautifully and naturalistically carved as a decidedly fat snail (katatsumuri) emerging from its shell with its feelers and labial tentacles folded back and resting on the shell for compactness. The ridged and spiraling shell is carved with incredible detail and the rough texture of the body is achieved through a multitude of finely etched strokes. The foot is visible on the underside, forming a curling lump with natural himotoshi going through under it. The use of staining and some gold lacquer is sublime. The edge of the shell signed SARI.LENGTH 4 cmCondition: Excellent condition with only very minor wear.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related wood netsuke of a snail by Sari illustrated in Davey, Neil K. (1982) Netsuke: A comprehensive study based on the M.T.

RANSEN: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A DRUNKEN TANUKI HARA NO TSUZUMIBy Ransen, signed Ransen 蘭川Japan, Kyoto, first half of 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The jovial badger sitting on an emptied sake bottle (tokkuri), one paw resting on its bushy tail, forming the cord attachment, and drumming on its bloated belly, raising its head, the mouth slightly opened with visible teeth, as if about to let out a drunken howl. The eyes are inlaid dark horn and the fur is finely incised. Signed underneath the sake bottle RANSEN – a pupil of the Hogen Rantei of Kyoto.HEIGHT 3.7 cmCondition: Very good condition with only very minor surface wear.The tanuki possesses magical powers and can change forms, sometimes into Buddhist monks; they are jovial, but also dangerous, as they have been known to suffocate hunters with their enormous scrotums. The act of drumming on the belly, according to legend, was used by tanuki to beguile travelers and hunters to lead them astray. However, it has also been said that tanuki would get together just for fun, drumming on their bellies under the moonlight, perhaps even with some sake involved.Literature comparison:Compare to a closely related wood netsuke of a belly drumming tanuki without the sake bottle, by Ransen, illustrated in Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A comprehensive study based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 90, no. 248.

SHIGEYOSHI: AN INLAID DARK WOOD NETSUKE OF KIYOHIMEBy Shigeyoshi, signed Shigeyoshi 重敬 to 刀Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Finely carved to depict the enraged witch Kiyohime, her inlaid face well detailed, her monstrous serpentine body coiled around the bell of Dojo-ji temple, inside which the priest Anchin is hiding, his face visible through a hole to one side. The handle of the bell can be turned to alternate between the two expressions of Anchin, one showing a pale, frightened expression and the other burnt-red from fire. The underside with large himotoshi and the signature SHIGEYOSHI.LENGTH 3.6 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and traces of use.Provenance: German private collection.The present netsuke is mentioned in Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A comprehensive study based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 521, artist no. 2382: “One recorded. Wood. Figure of Kiyohime. Early”.Kiyohime is a character in the story of Anchin and Kiyohime. In this story, she fell in love with a Buddhist monk named Anchin, but after her interest in the monk was rejected, she chased after him and transformed into a serpent in a rage, before killing him in a bell where he had hidden in the Dojo-ji temple. The story originally appeared in two collections of setsuwa (tales), Dainihonkoku hokekyo kenki (c. 1040) and Konjaku Monogatarishu (c. 1120).Auction comparison: Compare a related inlaid ebony netsuke by Tanaka Minko depicting the same subject at Galerie Zacke, Fine Netsuke, Sagemono & Okimono, 24 November 2018, Vienna, lot 70 (sold for 8,469 EUR).
ISSAN: A WOOD NETSUKE OF TWO TOADS ON A WALNUTBy Ryusansai Issan, signed Issan 一山 with a kakihanJapan, Iwashiro Province, c. 1840, Edo period (1615-1868)Exquisitely carved as two toads clambering over each other atop a half-walnut shell, their bodies well detailed and eyes inlaid with dark horn, although the lower toad has one eye closed as his companion has one front leg placed over it. The rough texture of the walnut shell and smoothly polished skin of the toads creates a fine contrast which is further enhanced by the dark stain to the low points. One of the upper toad's hind legs forms a possible 'natural' cord attachment. The underside of the walnut shell with a central, horizontally pierced himotoshi and the signature ISSAN with a kakihan. LENGTH 3.8 cmCondition: Very good condition, attractively worn, few tiny nicks. Provenance: A noted private collection, USA.Ryusansai Issan was a contemporary of Hidari Issan and always worked in wood. Here, however, the similarities between the two end. Ruysansai made naturalistic animals in a life-like style, not always compact but certainly always functional. The features of his creatures are carefully detailed and the eyes are inlaid.

Hindson Collection, p. 260.Literature comparison: Compare a related wood netsuke of a toad on a sandal by Ryusansai Issan, illustrated in Davey, Neil K.

SEIMIN: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A FROGS ON A LOTUS LEAFBy Seimin, signed Seimin 晴民Japan, Iwashiro Province, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)A well-carved and beautifully worn wood netsuke, depicting four frogs of varying size, dynamically arranged on a furled lotus leaf, two of them tying a sandal rope in the center, perhaps preparing for some tug of war action. The underside with the curved stem serving as the cord attachment and the signature SEIMIN within a mother-of-pearl tablet. The artist is best known for his depictions of frogs and is therefore also referred to as 'Kaeru Seimin'. While many unsigned works are attributed to him, signed examples are rather scarce. The wear and overall boldness of the carving indicate an early work by this master.LENGTH 4 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear. A small crack to the side of the lotus leaf by one of the frog's trailing legs.Literature comparison:Compare to a closely related ivory netsuke of frogs on a lotus leaf, by Seimin, illustrated in Davey, Neil K.

The lightly stained ivory is carved with incredible detail – note the finely incised beard of Idaten and the hair of the oni, the various incised patterns to the armor, and the billowing celestial scarves which move seamlessly around the composition. The signature is located within an oval reserve IKKOSAI between the two himotoshi.HEIGHT 8.8 cmCondition: Excellent condition with minor surface wear and only very few natural age cracks. Fine patina.Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.This carver Ikkosai, who also used the art name Toun, was likely a direct pupil of Ikkosai Saito Itaro, who also treated this rare subject.
