? GYOKUSAI: AN IVORY NETSUKE OF HANASAKA JIJI AND THE MAGICAL DOG SHIRO

By Gyokusai, signed Gyokusai 玉齋
Japan, Edo (Tokyo), mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved as a scene from the popular folktale Hanasaka Jiji, showing the old man leaning against a mortar overflowing with coins and treasure, holding a large pestle, the magical dog Shiro looking up towards him with a coin in his mouth. Two himotoshi to the back and signed to the underside within a scroll-shaped reserve GYOKUSAI – a pupil of the Tomochika school in Edo (Tokyo).

HEIGHT 4.5 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and expected natural age cracks.
Provenance: Galerie Zacke, November 1989. A copy of a certificate of an old expert’s report from Galerie Zacke, dated 15 November 1989, accompanies this lot.

The popular folktale goes as follows: There was once an old couple, Hanasaka Jiji and his wife, who had a dog named Shiro and particularly nasty neighbors. One day Shiro began sniffing and barking at a certain spot and when Hanasaka dug up the spot a large number of coins came up. The greedy neighbors watched and took the dog by force to their own garden. However, the spot at which the dog sniffed was filled with only filth and the neighbors killed the poor dog and buried it under a pine tree. The old man Hanasaka Jiji, much grieved, offered sacrifice upon the spot and the dog’s ghost appeared and commanded him to cut down the tree to make a rice mortar out of its trunk, which changed the rice into gold. The neighbors managed to borrow the mortar, however for them the rice turned only into filth and they burned the mortar. The dog appeared to Hanasaka once more and told him to retrieve the ashes from his neighbors and scatter them over dead trees, which miraculously began sprouting. Hanasaka became famous across the country, his fame even reaching the Daimyo of a neighboring province, who tested his powers and loaded him with treasures (the takaramono seen in this netsuke). The neighbor tried to do the same, but the ashes blew into the Daimyo's eyes, so he threw him into prison.
