ITTAN: A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF TWO PLAYING RATS

By Kyoryusai Ittan (died 1877), signed Ittan 一旦 with kakihan
Japan, Gifu/Nagoya, first half of the 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Published: Hurtig, Bernard (1973) Masterpieces of Netsuke Art: One Thousand Favorites of Leading Collectors, p. 148, no. 593.

The tumbling rodents intimately intertwined, one curling to the ground as it tries to reach over its companion’s body, each vying to reach the top. The eyes inlaid in dark horn and the incisors inlaid in bone. The hairwork is masterfully incised against the deeply polished wood, giving the netsuke a marvelously tactile feel in the hand. The underside shows both thick tails curling around and the finely carved paws. Natural himotoshi. The underside signed within a polished reserve ITTAN with kakihan.

HEIGHT 3.7 cm

Kyoryusai Ittan was reputedly born in Gifu, of Toba clan samurai blood. The connections between Nagoya and Gifu artists have recently been investigated by Kentaro Akatsu, who points out that these two centers, only thirty kilometers apart, should really be considered as one netsuke-producing area. Akatsu’s genealogical chart shows Tomokazu as a founding father of the Nagoya group of artists which included Ikkan, Ittan and Ichimin, who all produced similar netsuke. Late in Ittan's career he moved to Tokyo, where he carved figural netsuke of legendary subjects, but in the Nagoya wood fine surface detailing manner, likely working together with Hokyudo Itsumin. Later he retired to Nagoya, where he died according to Ueda Reikichi in 1877.

Museum comparison:
Compare a closely related wood netsuke of two rats, by Ittan, formerly in the Trumpf collection and now in the Linden Museum Stuttgart, inventory number OA 19100.
