Description

A TALL WOOD NETSUKE OF A DUTCHMAN WITH CHILD

Unsigned
Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Typically depicted with shoulder-length, curling hair and exaggerated features, clad in a coat of finely detailed texture with a pleated collar, carrying a boy on his back and a trumpet in his right hand. The expression of each is very finely crafted, the eyes with minutely carved pupils. The wood bearing a fine patina, large himotoshi through the back.

HEIGHT 8.8 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few natural age cracks, the joints of the feet filled.
Provenance: From the collection of Mike Thaler, former president of the Oregon Netsuke Society Chapter. Michael Charles Thaler (1936 - 2024) was an American author and illustrator of children's books. He published over 220 books between 1961 and 2020. His story, The Teacher from the Black Lagoon, blossomed into a favorite scholastic series consisting of 66 titles and selling over 26 million books.

In the Edo period, Dutch merchants were the only Europeans admitted to Japan, where they were confined to the island of Deshima. Netsuke representing foreigners were popular in this period, and a number of examples in ivory are in museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of New York (no. 10.211.1506) and the British Museum (F.558). Interestingly, the lapa (trumpet) in this Dutchman’s hand is also foreign, being of Chinese origin.
