SEIMIN: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A FROGS ON A LOTUS LEAF
By Seimin, signed Seimin 晴民
Japan, Iwashiro Province, mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

A well-carved and beautifully worn wood netsuke, depicting four frogs of varying size, dynamically arranged on a furled lotus leaf, two of them tying a sandal rope in the center, perhaps preparing for some tug of war action. The underside with the curved stem serving as the cord attachment and the signature SEIMIN within a mother-of-pearl tablet. The artist is best known for his depictions of frogs and is therefore also referred to as ‘Kaeru Seimin’. While many unsigned works are attributed to him, signed examples are rather scarce. The wear and overall boldness of the carving indicate an early work by this master.

LENGTH 4 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. A small crack to the side of the lotus leaf by one of the frog’s trailing legs.

Literature comparison:
Compare to a closely related ivory netsuke of frogs on a lotus leaf, by Seimin, illustrated in Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A comprehensive study based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 262, no. 812.
