KOGETSU: A FINE EBONY WOOD NETSUKE OF AN ONI LAMENTING THE SEVERED ARM OF THE DEMON RASHOMON

By Kogetsu, signed Kogetsu 香月
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved as a weeping oni drying his tears with a piece of cloth, his left hand leaning over the severed arm and holding prayer’s beads. Two himotoshi to the back and signed underneath KAGETSU. The ebony wood finely polished and carved with finesse.

LENGTH 3.5 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear and a fine crack to the left arm.
Provenance: From the private collection of Armand Basi. A copy of the collector’s notes, no. 743, accompanies this lot. Armand Basi (1924-2009) was a Spanish businessman and fashion designer, co-founder of the fashion firm bearing his name. He was a Japanese art enthusiast and amassed a large collection of netsuke in his lifetime. In 1948, along with his brother Josep, Armand Basi founded a small knitting company inspired by their mother Mercé Sabi's knitted sweaters. By the end of the 1950s the business had expanded into a large textiles company, opening a factory on Balcells Street in Barcelona in 1958. In 1961–62, the Basis signed an exclusive contract with Lacoste to manufacture and distribute Lacoste products in Spain. In 1986, Basi launched his eponymous fashion brand, which produced accessories, perfume, jewelry and watches, as well as clothing in more than 400 stores across Spain, Europe, North America and Asia.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related ebony wood netsuke of an oni on the arm of the Rashomon demon by Deme and Daishi, illustrated in Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A Comprehensive Study Based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 102, no. 286.

The world of demons went into deep despair after Watanabe no Tsuna severed Rashomon’s arm in the year 976. This event is parodied in netsuke art, as really it was only a ‘drop in the ocean’.
