TOYOYO: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A HATCHING TENGU (TENGU NO TOMAGO)

By Toyoyo (Toyoyasu, 1811-1883), signed Toyoyo 豊容
Japan, Sasayama, Tanba Province, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Published: Sydney L. Moss Ltd. (2006) More Things in Heaven and Earth, pp. 112-113, no. 49.

Masterfully carved as a hatching karasu (crow-beaked) tengu climbing out of its egg with its two hands holding on to the edge of the shell, triumphantly screeching, one large wing trailing over the cracked shell to its left. The eyes are inlaid in pale translucent horn with black drilled pupils. Note the extremely fine carving of the plumage, accentuated with black coloring, typical for the Tanba school artists. The slightly worn wood with a very good patina. The egg is smoothly polished and the large asymmetrical himotoshi are found underneath, the larger one generously excavated to accommodate the knot. It is also worth noting that this netsuke stands on the smaller himotoshi. Signed TOYOYO with boldly incised characters.

LENGTH 4 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few tiny nicks around the himotoshi, and one fine short age crack.
Provenance: Italian private collection. Sydney L. Moss, London, 2005. French private collection, acquired from the above.

Toyoyo (1811-1883), also known as Toyoyasu or Hidari Toyomasa, was the son and best pupil of Naito Toyomasa (1773-1856). There is ample evidence that many netsuke signed Toyomasa were in fact made by Toyoyo, who was left-handed. Toyoyo seldomly signed with his own name.
