Description

ITTAN: A SUPERB WOOD NETSUKE OF A COWERING ONI DURING SETSUBUN

By Kyoryusai Ittan (died 1877), signed Ittan 一旦 with kakihan
Japan, Gifu/Nagoya, c.1850, Edo period (1615-1868)

The oni cowering underneath a broken kasa (straw hat) trying to shield himself from a barrage of roasted beans being thrown at him during the oni-yarai ceremony on Setsubun day. His attempt is somewhat futile as one of the beans has hit his head, two further ones being carved on top of the hat. The heavily worn kasa is executed with intricate detail and the body of the oni underneath shows extremely fine carving with powerfully accentuated muscles and a neatly incised tiger skin loincloth. The squinting eyes are inlaid in dark wood. Natural himotoshi and signed to the underside within a polished reserve ITTAN – a talented Nagoya carver and pupil of Ikkan.

LENGTH 3.1 cm

Condition: Some losses to the straw hat, likely mostly intentional. Good condition and presenting well.
Provenance: From the private collection of an industrialist in Dordrecht, Netherlands, collected during the first half of the 20th century.

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.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related wood netsuke of a crouching oni, by Ittan, see Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part A, p. 250 (bottom left). Also compare a closely related wood netsuke of a crouching oni, by Ittan, illustrated in Cohen, George (1974) In Search of Netsuke & Inro, p. 51, no. 210.
