拍品描述
Description A RARE MARINE IVORY NETSUKE OF TANUKI HARA TSUZUMI Japan, Tokyo, second half of 19 th century, Meiji period (1868-1912) Depicting tanuki no hara tsuzumi (belly drumming raccoon dog), fur finely incised and stained, the spine expressively carved, the face with sharp fangs, upwards turned snout, double-inlaid eyes in mother-of-pearl and black horn, and a jovial expression – he is visibly delighted as he drums on his large and smooth belly, with his left front paw raised in a dynamic posture. Typical himotoshi between one of the legs and the belly to the underside. HEIGHT 3.8 cm Condition: Excellent condition with only minor surface wear. Provenance: German private collection. The tanuki possesses magical powers and can change forms, sometimes into Buddhist monks; they are jovial, but also dangerous, as they have been known to suffocate hunters with their enormous scrotum. The act of drumming on the belly, according to legend, was used by tanuki to beguile travelers and hunters to lead them astray. However, it has also been said that tanuki would get together just for fun, drumming on their bellies under the moonlight, perhaps even with some sake involved.
