YASUTADA: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A SNAIL EMERGING FROM ITS SHELL

By Yasutada, signed Yasutada 安忠
Japan, Kyoto, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Well carved as a snail easing its way out of its shell, its optic feelers fully extended and touching the shell, the skin neatly incised with a scale pattern, the shell with dense, gently curved lines, the varying incision work creating an appealing contrast in textures, which have somewhat smoothened over time due to extensive handling, the recesses finely stained. The underside with a ‘natural’ himotoshi between the snail’s shell and body, which nonetheless has been rounded by the carver, the shell incised with the signature within a rectangular reserve YASUTADA – the artist is very rare with only few examples recorded. It is supposed he was a pupil of Tomotada of Kyoto.

LENGTH 3.5 cm

Condition: Good condition, appealingly worn, few light scratches, one small chip.
Provenance: Ex-collection Teddy Hahn, Darmstadt. Theodor “Teddy” Hahn was a well-known and respected collector of netsuke and other Asian works of art. After spending time in museums to study the early cultures of the world, finding particular interest in their sculptures, he began collecting, remarking, “I somehow knew it would have a profound influence on my life. How right I was. And how happy I have been.”
