19c netsuke TANUKI badger by KOKEI from FHC collection of 1923

Item Details

Description

19th century boxwood netsuke of sitting Tanuki (badger) beating on his extended belly as on a drum. In Japanese folklore tanuki is a notorious trickster: he drums with his paws on his large belly (tanuki no hara tsuzumi), imitating the sounding of gongs in temples and inns, and leading tired travelers astray in the darkness. Superbly carved, excellent depiction of its face, teeth and fur, great sense of volume. Eyes are double inlaid with bronze and shakudo. Beautiful wear, fantastic patina consistent with age, old stable line on the left side of its belly, museul collection number on the bottom - the piece was deaccessioned from the Framingham History Center, Massachusetts, where it has been part of the collection since 1923. Signed KOKEI on the bottom - this excellent artist is listed on p. 645 of NETSUKE & INRO ARTISTS AND HOW TO READ THEIR SIGNATURES by George Lazarnick. All that a great netsuke shall be. Height 1 1/8 inches.
