Description

A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF A DANCING KUMOSUKE (ROAD PORTER)

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

The porter standing on one foot, scantily clad in a loincloth and short jacket, open at the waist, exposing his protuberant abdomen and drooping chest, turning into a pirouette, posing with one hand raised to his head, grinning broadly as he performs the ‘sparrow’ dance, his other hand hangs pendant to the side. The wood with a naturally grown patina. Generously excavated asymmetrical himotoshi to the back.

HEIGHT 8.8 cm

Condition: Overall good condition with some wear, an old worn chip to the raised hand, a few nicks around the himotoshi, the legs with old restorations.
Provenance: From the collection of Mike Thaler, former president of the Oregon Netsuke Society Chapter.

The kumosuke were men from a rough background who carried daimyo inside a palanquin along the Tokaido road, which connected Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Tokugawa era. They had to be strong, but also needed to know how to sing to entertain the feudal lords.

Auction comparison:
