TESSAI: A WOOD OKIMONO OF HOTEI

By Kano Tessai (1845-1925), signed Tessai with kakihan
Japan, Nara, late 19th to early 20th century

Finely carved as a seated Hotei leaning against his huge sack, his face resting against his left hand, with a serene expression marked by full lips forming a subtle smile, the narrowed eyes with incised pupils below thick brows, flanked by large pendulous earlobes, his voluminous robe with deeply carved folds opening to reveal his chest and large belly. The underside carved with the signature TESSAI with a kakihan.

LENGTH 28 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and few minuscule nicks.

With a wood storage box (tomobako) inscribed Hotei zo and Taisho mizunoto-ushidoshi shoshu TESSAI [...] (‘In the early autumn in mizunoto-ushi year of Taisho [corresponding to 1913] by Tessai’) with a kakihan and seal TESSAI.

Kano Tessai (1845-1925) came from a Gifu family and started his life as a Buddhist priest, though his father instructed him in the art of carving. He studied Chinese literature and drawing and was a professor at Tokyo art school in 1872. He was also on the examining committee for investigating the ancient art of Japan and subsequently went to Nara where he engaged in the reproductions of old objects of art.
