Description

A RARE CONTEMPORARY BAMBOO NETSUKE OF A MOKUGYO YOKAI

Unsigned
Japan, 20th century

Finely carved as the tsukumogami (animate household object) of a mokugyo temple bell with a large, curved handle and swirling curls underneath, the front formed as a monster head with floppy ears, furrowed brows and broad nose. The hollowed bell makes the appropriate sound when struck. Natural himotoshi through the handle.

HEIGHT 5.5 cm

Condition: Excellent condition.
Provenance: Collection Gabor Orszagh, Budapest, Hungary, purchased from Michael Strone. Zacke, Fine Netsuke & Sagemono, 4 November 2022, Vienna, lot 159 (sold for EUR 1,950). US private collection, acquired from the above.

This netsuke is likely inspired by the Tsukumogami Emaki, (Illustrated Scroll of Animated Utensils, 16th century) which features as its protagonists a band of used utensils that have turned into monsters (yokai). This work belongs to a genre of such tales composed between the 14th and 16th centuries, known as otogi-zoshi, or Muromachi tales. The Tsukumogami Emaki also inspired the famous Night Parade of One Hundred Demons by Kawanabe Kyosai.

Tsukumogami are animate household objects. After a service life of nearly one hundred years, utsuwamono or kibutsu (containers, tools, and instruments) receive souls (kami).
