TOEI: A NEGORO LACQUER MASK NETSUKE OF SHOJO

By Toei, signed Toei 東英
Japan, 19th century

The wood finely worked in partially rubbed off negoro lacquer to depict the face of Shojo. The face with a cheerful countenance, the hair carefully delineated in a smooth black reserve with a few strands falling into the forehead, all above comical eyes and a slightly open mouth. The red lacquer corresponding to the reddening of the face of these mythical creatures, which are constantly drunk. The reverse with a central himotoshi bar and signed TOEI.

HEIGHT 4.3 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor, mostly intentional wear.
Provenance: Van Stockum Gallery, The Hague, September 7, 1966. Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker, acquired from the above. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France’s post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Japanese and Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven’s museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privébezit (‘Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven’), and in 1967 they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen (‘Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections’).
