? TOSHINSAI MITSUHIRO: A FINE IVORY NETSUKE OF A DAIKOKU MASK WITH A HIDDEN SHUNGA INTERIOR

By Toshinsai Mitsuhiro, signed Toshinsai 東心斎 to 刀
Japan, Osaka, mid to late 19th century

Expertly carved in two sections, portraying Daikoku with a mischievous grin, framed by elongated earlobes, a short beard, and his characteristic hat. Upon opening, the interior reveals an intimate erotic scene—a passionate couple rendered with sumi and polychrome pigments—likely the source of Daikoku’s amused expression. Central himotoshi to the back framed by a chrysanthemum (kiku) blossom, the cord attachment formed by the extended leg of the female figure. The ivory displays a rich patina, typical of the Osaka school, and bears the signature TOSHINSAI to [carved by Toshinsai].

HEIGHT 3.8 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, minor nibbling to the inner rim and minor expected traces of use.

The artist Toshinsai Mitsuhiro was very likely a pupil of Ohara Mitsuhiro (1810-1875), Osaka, working in a similar style and using a similar stain with sumi details.

Literature comparison:
For another netsuke by the artist bearing the full signature Toshinsai Mitsuhiro, dated mid to late-19th century, see Barry Davies Oriental Art (1996) Netsuke Through Three Centuries, p. 82, no. 75.

Auction comparison:
