VADYM PYVOVAR: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A BAKU AFTER MASATOSHI
By Vadym Pyvovar, signed with the artist’s initials
Ukraine, 2023

A wood netsuke of a lean young baku, standing foursquare with the feet close together like a circus elephant and turning its head back to look behind, its trunk touching its left haunch. The ridges of the underside of its trunk, recalling the softer skin of the neck of a crocodile, continue the full length of its neck and belly. The top of the trunk is wrinkled, as is the forehead and nape of the neck. The creature has the customary flames licking around the tops of its legs. The one visible eye is inlaid with amber. Natural himotoshi between the front legs and between the body and the trunk and the tail. One haunch incised with the artist’s initials.

LENGTH 4.5 cm

Condition: Excellent condition.

Baku are Japanese supernatural beings that are said to devour nightmares. According to legend, they were made from the spare pieces that were left after the gods had finished creating all other animals. Baku heads are commonly placed under the eaves of Japanese Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to ward off bad spirits.

Literature comparison:
Compare to an example which inspired this model by Masatoshi, illustrated in Sydney L. Moss (2008) such stuff as dreams are made on. Japanese netsuke from the Willi G. Bosshard collection, p. 189, no. 96.
