MEIKEISAI HOJITSU: A SUPERB LACQUERED AND INLAID WOOD NETSUKE OF A MANZAI DANCER WEARING AN OKINA MASK

By Meikeisai Hojitsu, signed Hojitsu 法實
Japan, Edo (Tokyo), mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The dancer with one leg slightly raised and stepping forwards, holding the closed fan before him with both hands, his robes luxuriously lacquered with various floral crests and karakusa worked in subtle hiramaki-e. The performer is wearing an Okina mask and an eboshi, both carved from buffalo horn and embellished with stained bone inlays. The hands and feet are lacquered in silver. Signed to the back below the two himotoshi within a mother-of-pearl inlaid plaque HOJITSU.

HEIGHT 5.1 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with only very minor typical wear.
Provenance: Property of a Lady. Christie’s, Japanese Ivory Carvings and Netsuke, 16 May 1979, London, lot 97 (illustrated on pl. 7). Ex-collection Maybell Dore, acquired from the above. Maybelle (Betty) Dore started collecting Japanese antiques in the postwar years, during the 1950s and 1960s, when interest in Japanese art was generally very low. For her business she ventured to Japan on her own to assemble netsuke and related works of art, including pipe cases and kogo (incense containers). Betty was also a founding member and the first Chairwoman of the International Netsuke Society, Northern California Chapter.

Auction comparison:
Hojitsu only rarely utilized lacquer in his netsuke. For a related example of a boy holding a fan see Lempertz, Asian Art, 21 June 2023, Cologne, lot 474 (sold for EUR 5,418). Note the similar lacquered décor and inlays.
