AN IVORY OKIMONO DEPICTING URASHIMA TARO WITH TURTLE

Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Finely carved as a standing fisherman holding a small turtle in his right hand and looking at the animal with a bemused expression, his eyes narrowed and mouth agape. He is wearing a straw skirt over a neatly incised patterned robe. A gourd vessel is slung over his shoulder with the tasseled string held in his left hand. Beside him lies a woven basket with a long fishing rod sticking out and a smaller basket filled with fish.

HEIGHT 11.1 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few fine age cracks, the separately carved fishing rod with an old repair, the basket to his side is slightly loose.
Provenance: From the collection of Gaston Lazard (1878-1956) and his wife Jane Levy (1886-1985) and thence by descent within the same family.

The present okimono depicts a scene from the popular fairy tale of Urashima Taro, in which a fisherman is rewarded for rescuing a turtle, and carried on its back to the Dragon Palace beneath the sea. There he is entertained by the princess Otohime as a reward. He spends what he believes to be several days with the princess, but when he returns to his home village, he discovers he has been gone for at least 100 years. When he opens the forbidden jeweled box (tamatebako) given to him by Otohime on his departure, he turns into an old man.

Auction comparison:
Compare to a related ivory okimono of Urashima Taro, by Kazuo, at Bonhams. Fine Japanese Art, 17 May 2012, London, lot 183 (sold for 5,250 GBP).
