拍品描述
HAKUSAI: A RARE COROZO NUT AND STAG ANTLER NETSUKE OF A KAPPA HEAD
By Hoshino Hakusai, signed Haku はク
Japan, Asakusa, Tokyo, second half of 19th century

Exquisitely carved, the head surmounted by a natural deer coronet with horsehair tufts, the round eyes double-inlaid in translucent and dark horn, the head itself carved from corozo nut, the finely textured skin of the nut still visible to the cheeks, chin, and back, the face well detailed with neatly incised wrinkles and grimacing mouth slightly agape revealing teeth, the back with two asymmetrical himotoshi beside the signature HAKU executed in a mixture of hiragana and katakana characters within an oval reserve.

Corozo nut is rarely used in netsuke art as it is notoriously difficult to carve. The artist here exhibits tremendous skill, the surface of the nut brilliantly utilized to emulate antler.

HEIGHT 4.3 cm

Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear.
Provenance: Ex-collection Dr. Walter Heihs. Sotheby’s, 17 June 1998, London, lot 752 (described as a tengu mask).

Auction comparison:
