Description

SHUMIN: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A BLIND MASSEUR LIFTING A STRENGTH STONE

By Shumin, signed Shumin 舟民
Japan, Edo (Tokyo), early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Published: Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part B, p. 774.

The wood netsuke finely carved to depict a crouching blind man trying to lift a boulder before him, wearing only a loincloth, his emaciated rib case visible, the bone-inlaid eye popping out as a result of the strain of the weight, and with inlaid teeth biting his lower lip as he makes a grimace. Two asymmetrical himotoshi at the underside and signed SHUMIN.

LENGTH 3.8 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with only very minor wear.

Massage plays an important role in Japanese medicine. Mainly practiced by the blind, who strengthened their muscles in between with the help of chikaraishi or strength stones, chikaraishi have been used since at least the 8th century and even today can be found at some Shinto shrines, where they were used for competitions of strength, or for divination purposes. Today some have been designated as Important Cultural Assets.
