MINKO: A WOOD NETSUKE OF TANUKI HARA NO TSUZUMI

Minko lineage, signed Minko 珉江 with kakihan
Japan, Tsu, first half of 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved as tanuki no hara tsuzumi (belly drumming raccoon dog), the fur beautifully incised, its right foreleg raised, the other foreleg beating its distended stomach. The face with a jovial expression, baring sharp fangs, upwards turned snout, the eyes double inlaid in bone with dark pupils. Two pierced himotoshi between the sweeping, bushy tail and signed underneath within a polished reserve MINKO. Good, dark patina.

HEIGHT 3.1 cm

Condition: Very good condition, minor wear and some light surface scratches.

The tanuki possesses magical powers and can change forms, sometimes into Buddhist monks; they are jovial, but also dangerous, as they have been known to suffocate hunters with their enormous scrotums. The act of drumming on the belly, according to legend, was used by tanuki to beguile travelers and hunters to lead them astray. However, it has also been said that tanuki would get together just for fun, drumming on their bellies under the moonlight, perhaps even with some sake involved.
