HOGEN SHUZAN: A SUPERB AND LARGE WOOD NETSUKE OF SHOKI AND ONISigned Hogen Shuzan 法眼周山Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)The tall figure boldly carved as a standing Shoki, with menacingly grim expression, grabbing a flailing oni by its hair, his iconic ken-sword drawn behind his back. The reddish wood bearing an attractive, dark patina and the eye-pupils of both inlaid in black wood. Good, functional himotoshi to the back and signed Hogen SHUZAN.HEIGHT 9.8 cmCondition: Good condition with some typical wear and few old chips and nicks here and there.The work can be attributed to Yoshimura Shuzan (1700-1776) or a close follower. Yoshimura Shuzan was a painter who also carved netsuke, being mentioned in the Soken Kisho (the first publication on netsuke) in 1781. He came from Shimanouchi, Osaka, and studied with the Kano-school painter Niekawa Mitsunobu and received the honorary rank 'hogen'. While the design and remarkably bold execution are certainly in line with this artist's work, his netsuke were usually carved from cypress wood and painted with polychrome pigments. It is also said that he never signed his works. For the reasons above, a firm attribution is impossible.Literature comparison: Compare a related saishiki (painted hinoki wood) netsuke, attributed to Yoshimura Shuzan and of similar design, illustrated in the International Netsuke Collectors Society Journal (INCSJ), vol.3, no. 1, p. 26, no. 33.Auction comparison:Compare a related Shuzan-style wood netsuke, unsigned and without polychrome pigments, of similar size and boldness, depicting a Chinese general, at Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr, Myth, Mirth and Magic – Important Netsuke and Sagemono from the Guy de Lasteyrie Collection, 14 June 2023, Paris, lot 24 (sold for EUR 20,480). The design for this netsuke is also illustrated in Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part B, p. 800.
A SUPERB AND RARE WOOD AND LACQUER NETSUKE OF KIYOHIMEUnsignedJapan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Superbly carved as the vengeful, serpentine monster Kiyohime, encircling the bell of Dojo-ji, its scaly body boldly carved and the tail terminating in the tip of a ken-sword. The bell is adorned with cloud scroll and studs, and Kiyohime's loosely fitted robe and long hair are elaborately carved and stained dark for effect. Kiyohime holds a striker in one hand and the looped handle of the bell in the other, her Hannya-like face is marked by a defiant grin, the tongue sticking out in mockery of Anchin who had dismissed her love. The bell is embellished with brilliant gold and red lacquer. One large himotoshi through the bell, tucked under the body of Kiyohime.HEIGHT 5.8 cmCondition: Old repair to section of bell underneath. A further crack with associated old repair near the upper band of decoration to the bell. A small chip to the hair by the right side of the face. Generally in good condition and presenting beautifully.Auction comparison:The present netsuke belong to an illustrious group of characterful netsuke of bold design which utilize lacquered elements for effect. For two examples recently sold at auction see Bonhams, Netsuke from the Collection of Joseph and Elena Kurstin, 16 December 2022, New York, lot 1 (sold for USD 21,674) and Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr, Myth, Mirth and Magic – Important Netsuke and Sagemono from the Guy de Lasteyrie Collection, 14 June 2023, Paris, lot 97 (sold for EUR 12,160).
