Description

A RARE KARAKURI (TRICK) WOOD NETSUKE OF MIKOSHI NYUDO SCARING A BLIND MAN, ATTRIBUTED TO SHUGETSU

Attributed to Shugetsu, unsigned
Japan, Edo (Tokyo), first half of the 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The towering bakemono carved with an extendable neck and head, holding out its hand in the manner of a scarecrow and attempting to frighten an old blind man, who looks back, completely unaware of the looming yokai, gently smiling. Well-hollowed, asymmetrical himotoshi through the back.

HEIGHT 6 cm, HEIGHT (neck extended) 7.7 cm

Condition: Excellent condition.

Mikoshi Nyudo is one of the many ghostly monsters of Japan that are generally known as bakemono or yokai. This monster is usually portrayed with a bald head and a jutting tongue. Although there are many variations of this ghost story across the different regions of Japan, the plots are roughly similar. Essentially, when a person is walking alone at night, the form of a monk suddenly appears. The ghost grows taller every time the person looks up at it and gazing at it for too long invariably results in death. The word Mikoshi 見越し means to "look over" or "tower over" and the word Nyudo 入道 is a common slang name for a priest.
