A FINE TSUISHU LACQUER MANJU NETSUKE DEPICTING SHISHI NO SAKA OTOSHI

Unsigned
Japan, 19th century

The zabuton (cushion) shaped netsuke in tsuishu (carved red lacquer) decorated within a sunken relief panel with a shishi mother throwing her offspring off a cliff, the scrappy cub having survived its trial and snarling at its mother, both standing on rocky outcrops and surrounded by large flowering peonies.

LENGTH 3.9 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor typical wear. The eyelet peg for himotoshi lost.
Provenance: Kevorkian Gallery, October 1947. 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’).

Legend has it that the shishi tested the vigor of their young by throwing the young ones from the top of a cliff (shishi no saka otoshi). Longevity was assured if the animal survived.
