拍品描述
? A WOOD NETSUKE OF AN ONI AT SETSUBUN, ATTRIBUTED TO ROKKO
Attributed to Rokko, unsigned
Japan, Tokyo, late 19th century

Finely carved as a running oni attempting to flee as he is being pelted with soybeans, holding a large straw hat over his back and head, his two horns poking through the hat, which has already suffered some well-executed ‘damage’, the demon’s muscles well detailed and heightened by skillful staining. His hair, brows, and garment are neatly incised. The eyes are inlaid with dark horn, the mouth agape in an agonized expression showing teeth and sharp fangs.

HEIGHT 4 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with minimal wear.
Provenance: Van Ham, 8 June 2017, Cologne, lot 1520 (sold for 2,193 EUR). A noted private collection, USA, acquired from the above.

The Setsubun festival is celebrated during the first day of spring and includes the rite of oni-yarai or mame-maki, where roasted beans are thrown at oni to rid the coming year of any demons and disease-bringing spirits. Sometimes, families also hang sardines and holly outside their doors, both of which were traditionally deemed unappealing to demons and thus also contribute to keeping the home free of evil spirits.
