Signed Yoshi
Japan, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The Chinese boy (karako) is shown with characteristic large tufts of hair, wearing a Chinese coat and with a joyous facial expression, as he is holding a large hand puppet of a horse enveloping both of his hands. The folds of his garment are carved with excellent detail, darkened for accentuation. A fine netsuke beaming with character and full of movement. The horse's eyes are double inlaid with bone and black horn. Very good and large himotoshi through the back, above the signature YOSHI 吉 in a rounded reserve.
