拍品描述
A WOOD ‘FISH’ BOKUTO (DOCTOR'S SWORD)

Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved as a fish with wide eyes, furled lips revealing sharp teeth, indented gills, and a long body with neatly incised scales and fins, the tail flipped to one side. The wood with a naturally grown, dark patina.

LENGTH 57.2 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, light scratches, small nicks, and minuscule chips.

During the Edo period, with the end of the civil rivalry between the Shogun and his enemies, carrying arms became obsolete in Japan. The wearing of small dummy swords by the Samurai was imitated by doctors, artists, and other professionals as a symbol of social and professional status. During the 18th and 19th centuries the bokuto lost its sword-like appearance and size and took on a more abstract and decorative form, continuing into the Meiji period and beyond.
