拍品描述
MASAKAZU: A FINE AND AMUSING WOOD NETSUKE OF A MONKEY AND OCTOPUS
By Masakazu, signed Masakazu 正一
Japan, Gifu or Nagoya, c. 1860

Published: Sagemonoya (2009) The 2009 New York Sans Ivoire Netsuke & Sagemono Selection, p. 32, no. 79.

Well-carved, of compact form, the two animals strongly exerting themselves in a vicious fight, the octopus firmly gripped by the monkey and using all its tentacles to defend itself, its soft head squashed by the simian’s feet, the monkey’s mouth slightly open, revealing tongue and teeth, both animals with horn-inlaid eyes, the suckers well detailed, the fur neatly incised and darkly stained, signed to the top of the upside-down octopus’ head within an oval reserve MASAKAZU.

HEIGHT 3.7 cm

Condition: Good condition, minor wear, few small nicks, few light surface scratches. The octopus’ muzzle repaired.
Provenance: US private collection. Sagemonoya, Tokyo, 2009. French private collection, acquired from the above.

Museum comparison:
Compare to a closely related wood netsuke of a monkey and octopus, by Masakazu, illustrated in Barker & Smith (1976), Netsuke: The Miniature Sculpture of Japan, no. 178. Located in the British Museum, accession no. F.805.

Auction comparison:
Compare a related wood netsuke depicting the same subject, signed Tomokazu, dated early to mid-19th century, formerly in the collection of Raymond Bushell, at Christie’s, An Important European Collection of Netsuke, 14 November 2001, London, lot 83 (sold for 7,638 GBP).
