拍品描述
A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A FISH WITH AOGAI-INLAID EYES

Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Finely carved, the underbelly of the boney fish opened, exposing the inside of the gutted fish. The scales are finely detailed, its mouth agape exposing a row of teeth, and its wide eyes formed by inlaid mother-of-pearl irises and buffalo horn pupils. A single himotoshi to the side, exiting through the open mouth or belly.

LENGTH 6.6 cm

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear throughout.

This somewhat stylized carving with its inlaid mother-of-pearl eyes closely resembles carvings by the artist Hidari Issan (see both comparisons below). While the pose of the fish appears lively, the gutted underside elucidates the gaunt, boney form of a fish that has met its demise.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related wood netsuke of a fish, formerly in the collection of M.T. Hindson, illustrated in Bandini, Rosemary (2019), The Larry Caplan Collection of Japanese Netsuke, no. 41.

Auction comparison
Compare a related wood netsuke of a pile of desiccated fish, at Zacke, Fine Netsuke & Sagemono, 4 November 2022, Vienna, lot 28 (sold for EUR 6,500).
