Description

SUKETADA: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A KAPPA ON HAMAGURI CLAM

By Eguro Suketada, signed Suketada 亮忠
Japan, Takayama, Hida province, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

A very finely carved study of a kappa with one hind foot caught in the jaws of a hamaguri clam as it climbs over it. The warty skin of the kappa is masterfully rendered, the eyes are inlaid in polished dark wood, the shell is finely carved, and the long hairs surrounding the kappa’s swirling vital fluids on the head are minutely incised. The surface of the clam is highly polished and attractively stained. Large, asymmetrical himotoshi ringed in bone through the underside and signed SUKETADA.

The present netsuke is much more worn than other examples of this subject by Suketada and shows a distinctly beautiful patina. It is likely that this is one of the earliest netsuke of this type.

LENGTH 3.6 cm

Condition: Good condition with old wear and fine patina. A few light scratches, a small loss to the inlaid himotoshi, and other minor traces of use.

The subject references, quite humorously, a parody of the seduction of feminine wiles, the clam representing the female here.

Auction comparison:
Compare to a closely related wood netsuke of a kappa, by Suketada, exhibiting similar wear, at Zacke, Fine Netsuke & Sagemono, 28 April 2023, Vienna, lot 155 (sold for EUR 3,120). For another closely related wood netsuke of a kappa, by Suketada, see Bonhams, The Harriet Szechenyi Sale of Japanese Art, 8 November 2011, London, lot 54 (sold for 8,125 GBP).
