Description

A VERY LARGE AND UNUSUAL WOOD NETSUKE OF SHOKI AND ONI

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

Published: Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A Comprehensive Study Based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 394, no. 1175.

A remarkably large and bold netsuke, carved from a single, heavy block of wood, attributable to the illustrious Kyoto artist Seibei, who worked during the mid-18th century and made only very large and powerful netsuke. The demon queller is depicted standing in mighty boots, his robe accentuated with large folds, the wood bearing a rich deep patina. Shoki’s back is slightly arched, glancing upwards in a frightened manner, his large eyes amusingly widened, while grabbing the legs of a mischievous oni which pulls at his hat in laughter. The expressions are powerfully carved and imbued with humor and life. Very large himotoshi to the back, the cord channel running through one sleeve.

HEIGHT 13.8 cm

Condition: Very good condition. Some light wear and traces of use. Minuscule nibbling to the edge of the sleeve where the cord channel runs through. Beautiful, deep patina.
Provenance: Ex-collection Roan. Ex-collection Mark T. Hindson (1883-1968). Sold at Sotheby’s, London, 1967-1968. Ex-collection I. S. Freiman. Sold at Sotheby’s, London, 28 June 1978, lot 148. A German private collection, acquired from the above.

Literature comparison:
As noted by Neil Davey in the above publication, the present netsuke can be attributed to Seibei of Kyoto, mentioned in the Soken Kisho of 1781. For a related wood netsuke of similar prowess and size, dated 1750 and now in the Musée d'Ennery, Paris, see Lazarnick, George (1981) Netsuke & Inro Artists, and How to Read Their Signatures (LNIA), Vol. 2, pp. 917-918. There it is noted that this is the most remarkable netsuke in the Musée d'Ennery, furthermore Seibei was so very famous that a style of carving is known as Seibei-bori.
