The eyes of the bird and primate are double inlaid in pale translucent horn with dark pupils.

Signed within a rectangular reserve to the inside of the tail fan KANMAN.

Kanman (1793-1859) was a Japanese netsuke carver of the Iwami school, which was founded by Seiyodo Tomiharu. Most of his work was designed in the first three decades of the 19th century. According to Anne Hull Grundy, “His netsuke […] are extremely rare.” David Burditt has described him as one of the greatest of the Iwami carvers. A hallmark of Kanman’s work is his understanding of the materials he uses. His woods demonstrate wonderful undercutting, deep incisions, copious ukibori, and detailed overall carving.

As noted by David Burditt in INSJ vol. 20, no. 1, pp. 49-50, this particular piece is the most successful of Kanman’s eagles and is not only one of Kanman’s best, but also one of the greatest Iwami netsuke.
