MITSUHARU: A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF SHOKI AND ONIBy Mitsuharu, unsignedJapan, Kyoto, late 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Dynamically and expressively carved in the typical manner of Mitsuharu, the demon queller dressed in a voluminous robe incised with cloud designs and with long draping sleeves, his downward-pointing sword at the ready, and holding on to the brim of his hat on which a boldly carved oni hides. Shoki's expression is typically carved - his mouth is open, his beard is flowing in the wind, the ringed eyes with horn-inlaid pupils. The back with large himotoshi between the sword's scabbard.HEIGHT 8.2 cmCondition: The feet are probably restored. Some general wear, minuscule nicks. Otherwise fine condition, beautiful patina.Provenance: French private collection.Literature comparison:For a discussion of the carver see INSJ, vol. 39, no. 1, pp. 11-23, A similar example in ivory (also unsigned) is illustrated in fig. 29 (and illustrated on the cover of the journal). For a related example in wood see Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part A, p. 532.
