? A RARE IVORY NETSUKE OF AN ACTOR IN THE ROLE OF THE FOX PRIEST (HAKUZOSU)
Unsigned
Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Published: Sagemonoya (2022) A Selection of Netsuke & Sagemono from the Collection of Georgina & Gabor Wilhelm, p. 76, no. 123

Finely carved to depict an actor in the role of Hakuzosu wearing a mask of an old man. He is almost entirely clothed in a smooth hood and stippled robe with wide sleeves and well-carved folds, with only the face, the hands leaning on the cane, and the feet wearing tabi (socks) visible. The underside and back with chimney himotoshi. The ivory bearing a fine patina.

HEIGHT 9.6 cm

Condition: Very good condition, appealingly worn, expected age cracks, the lower edge of the robe with a smoothened chip.
Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.

Hakuzosu is the name of a popular kitsune character who shapeshifted into a priest in the Kyogen play Tsurigitsune (lit. ‘fox catching’). Kitsune (foxes) are creatures imbued with magical powers and are known to have the ability of shapeshifting. They are also believed to be animated by the devils.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related ivory netsuke illustrated in Yoshida, Yukari / Kurstin, Joseph (Winter 1997) Tidbits & Answers, International Netsuke Society Journal, Vol. 17, No. 4, p. 11.

Museum comparison:
Compare a related ivory netsuke of a fox priest, dated 18th century, formerly in the collection of Raymond Bushell and now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number AC1998.221.5.

Auction comparison:
Compare a closely related ivory netsuke, 9.4 cm high, also dated 18th century, at Galerie Zacke, Fine Netsuke & Sagemono, 25 September 2020, Vienna, lot 11 (sold for 6,320 EUR).
