YOSHITOSHI: A SUPERB AND LARGE WOOD NETSUKE OF KAN'U STROKING HIS BEARDBy Yoshitoshi, signed Yoshitoshi 慶寿Japan, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Published: Sagemonoya (2022) A Selection of Netsuke & Sagemono from the Collection of Georgina & Gabor Wilhelm, p. 12, no. 9.A powerfully sculpted and large netsuke of remarkable thickness depicting the God of War Kan'u (Guan Yu) standing proudly and stroking his long and elegantly flowing beard. The legendary general wears a cloud-patterned robe below a cuirass with beast-masked shoulder plates. Note the superbly carved facial features and fingers which curl around his beard and are placed against his hip. Two large himotoshi to the back and signed towards the hem of the robe YOSHITOSHI.HEIGHT 8.8 cmCondition: Good condition with minor wear and traces of use. Some light chipping with associated repairs to the edge of the robe in the back.Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.Guan Yu (died 220) was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. Guan Yu's life was lionised and his achievements glorified to such an extent after his death that he was deified during the Sui dynasty. He is reported to have had a 'peerless beard'. In the present netsuke he is depicted in a portraitist manner with particular attention devoted to the long beard, which is central to the composition, the eyes of the viewer being immediately drawn to the curved, elegant fingers caressing this legendary figure's facial hair.Literature comparison:Only two works are recorded by this exceptionally rare artist in Fuld's Netsuke and Ojime Index. One depicting Gama Sennin is illustrated in Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part B, p. 992, and the other depicts a man tying his fundoshi illustrated in Barry Davies Oriental Art, The Netsuke Collection of W.G Bosshard Part 1, no. 92.

A SUPERB AND LARGE OSAKA SCHOOL INLAID WOOD NETSUKE OF GAMA SENNIN, ATTRIBUTED TO KOKEISAI SANSHOAttributed to Kokeisai Sansho (1871-1926), unsignedJapan, Osaka, late 19th to early 20th centuryThe strikingly tall figure superbly carved as an amused Gama Sennin with his toad playfully clambering on his shoulder. The toad, with one arm under sennin's neck and the other on top of his head, seems to be unwilling to extricate itself from his master's shoulder. Gama is shown with his mouth agape in a humorous, wide-open grin, his face set with large eyes of inlaid bone with reddish horn pupils, as he holds one of the toad's legs, in an attempt to pull it down, while the toad embraces his master's head in impish resistance. The immortal is clothed in a loosely fitted robe with long draping sleeves, typical of hermits, the leaves inlaid with stained bone and horn. The amphibian's skin is finely textured, and the eyes are inlaid in gilt with reddish horn pupils. Two very large and asymmetrical himotoshi ringed in green-stained bone to the back. The light wood, typically used by the Osaka master Kokeisai Sansho (1871-1926), finely polished with a smooth grain.HEIGHT 14.8 cmCondition: One foot with a repair and possibly minor repairs to inlays. Generally very good condition and presenting beautifully.Provenance: Toledano, Arcachon, October 1988. Ex-collection Guy de Lasteyrie, acquired from the above. De Lasteyrie is a member of the Lasteyrie du Saillant family and is considered among the leading French collectors of netsuke.This superb carving of Gama Sennin is remarkable not only due to its size but also due to its irresistible charm and character imbued with a healthy sense of humor. The use of various inlays against the pale, polished wood creates a very appealing color contrast. This is all very typical of the work of Kokeisai Sansho (1871-1926).Museum comparison:Compare a related wood netsuke of Gama Sennin from an Osaka artist, signed Tsuji, in the British Museum, accession number 1912,1012.4.Auction comparison: Compare a related wood netsuke of a warrior with a closely related expression and pose, at Christie's, A Private Collection of Japanese Art, 20 October 2015, New York, lot 53 (sold for USD 37,500).Additional Note: There is a strong possibility this netsuke is more likely carved by Minko or Hasegawa Ikko, both residents of Tsu.

He started his inro collection in the late 1970s. At that time, he entered the gallery Aalderink Oriental Art along the Spiegelgracht in Amsterdam and was immediately captivated by the beauty of inro. He began his collection with three simple specimens but hoped to own more. He remarked, “Oh that's nothing, a decent collection must be about a hundred pieces!” And collect he did. Arend was not concerned with the signature or the rarity, but with the intrinsic poetic beauty embodied in this very Japanese art form.

The underside with generously excavated himotoshi and the signature in Tensho characters HOUN.Takahashi Houn was a pupil of Kokei (lot no. 186) and worked in Edo (Tokyo), where he was awarded the title Hogen for his carving of Buddhist images. He was highly respected during his lifetime, carving the 500 Rakan (fig.1.) for the Kamakura temple. Furthermore, he was the master of Takamura Toun, a highly respected carver of Buddhist wood figures and master of the celebrated artist Takamura Koun (1852-1934), for an example of the latter's work see fig. 2.Only very few netsuke are recorded by Takahashi Houn and this is the only illustrated netsuke by the carver in literature. The reason is likely that he focused his attention on carving larger scale Buddhist images commissioned by various temples. The unique treatment of material and subject clearly show the roots of this celebrated carver, the present carving really being more a Buddhist sculpture rather than a netsuke, akin to the highest-level Kamakura carvings, though in miniature form.LENGTH 4.7 cmCondition: Very good condition, few light surface scratches.Provenance Ex-collection W. L. Behrens (1861-1913). Sold at Glendining's, London, 1-8 December 1913. Glendining's, London, November 1931. Anonymous sale, Sotheby's London, 11 January 1965, lot 93, purchased by Edward A. Wrangham. Sold at the latter's second sale, Bonhams London, 10 May 2011, lot 90 (sold for GBP 19,200). French private collection, acquired from the above reputedly in competition with Edward 'Ned' Johnson III.The elephant-like mythical being depicted in this netsuke is by no means an ordinary elephant, but rather a religious creature frequently depicted in early Buddhist art or a baku (nightmare-devouring creature). The wrinkly body and trunk, long tusks, and smiling attitude bear an uncanny resemblance to the famous imaginary elephants (sozo-no-zo) from the Nikko Tosho-gu. This type of elephant was also frequently depicted in Buddhist art as the familiar of Fugen Bosatsu or on various architectural elements depicting baku.Museum comparison:Compare a related wood figure of The Eleven-Headed Kannon, by Takahashi Houn, in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum.

RITSUO: A MASTERFUL AND RARE INLAID TWO-CASE INRO DEPICTING THE YOKAI BOX FROM THE SHITAKIRI SUZUME, WITH EN SUITE NETSUKE AND OJIME, THE NETSUKE BY OHARA MITSUHIROBy Mochizuki Hanzan (1743-1790), signed Ritsuo 笠翁 and kakihanJapan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The remarkable two-case inro of box shape, acting as a trompe-l'œil optical illusion, with a 'hinged lid' opening to reveal several yokai creatures, inlaid in stained horn, antler, amber, ceramic, and various metals. A rokurokubi-esque snail creature with a single cycloptic eye is seen to the very left, poking its long neck through a hole in the box, next to a praying mantis with gilt eyes, and two anthropomorphic frog-creatures to the right. The ground is lacquered in an attractive reddish-brown, simulating a basketweave design, the front decorated with a gold sparrow crest, a metal-inlaid snail slithering through teared holes to either side of the inro and further with carved red lacquer flames emerging from within throughout the composition. A wasp and a butterfly are visible within the opening to the sides of the inro. With realistically modeled metal fittings posing as the hinges and closing mechanism of the box. Signed underneath in gold lacquer RITSUO with a red-lacquered kakihan, identifying the artist as Mochizuki Hanzan (Haritsu II, 1743-1790). The interior of dense nashiji with gold fundame rims.With an en suite bone ojime depicting a stylized sparrow and a beautifully matching, thick manju netsuke carved from walrus tusk and depicting a sparrow above bamboo, executed in sumi-stained kebori, signed MITSUHIRO (Ohara Mitsuhiro, 1810-1875) and with the artist's kakihan.HEIGHT 6.6 cm, LENGTH 7 cmDIAMETER (the netsuke) 4.5 cmCondition: Very good condition. Only minor wear and rubbing to lacquer, some typical minuscule losses along the edges, some light surface scratches to the underside.Mochizuki Hanzan, thought to have lived from 1743 to 1790, called himself Haritsu II and was a close follower of Ogawa Haritsu (1663-1747) though he was neither his son nor his pupil. The kakihan (artist's cursive monogram) on the present inro is a close match to a kakihan seen on an inro bearing his signature, the signature illustrated in Wrangham, E. A. (1995) The Index of Inro Artists, p. 67.The inro depicts the famous treasure box from the Tongue-Cut Sparrow (Shitakiri Suzume), which was opened by the story's culprit, Arababa, and contains a host of supernatural bakemono and yokai. The manju netsuke and ojime are matching as well, both depicting sparrows.
