拍品描述
MASAKAZU: A SUPERB NAGOYA SCHOOL WOOD NETSUKE OF KIYOHIME
By Masakazu, signed Masakazu 正一
Japan, Nagoya, first half of 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The vengeful monster Kiyohime depicted here in humanoid form with long flowing hair, leaning against the Dojo-ji bell, hunched forwards with a menacing expression, one hand grasping the double-dragon handle of the temple bell, the other holding a striker. The details are superbly carved, the bell is adorned with raised studs and minutely carved rain dragons, and the reddish cherry wood bears a fine patina. Himotoshi through the bell and signed underneath MASAKAZU.

HEIGHT 4 cm

Condition: Excellent condition, minor wear.
Provenance: Ex-collection Collection Prof. Dr. Henk C. Hoogsteden, Rotterdam, purchased at Lempertz, The Papp Collection of Netsuke, 16 June 2018, Cologne, lot 1052. Formerly collection Papp, collection no. 449, purchased from Helmut Laudenbach, Berg, January 1989.

In this tragic story, Kyohime fell in love with a Buddhist monk named Anchin but was rejected. In despair she pursues the monk and transforms herself into a Hannya-like demon with a snake body and horned head. The pursued Anchin hides under a temple bell. When she discovers him there, she wraps her snake body around the bell and the glow of her passion melts the metal and burns the monk hiding in the bell.
