DESCRIPTION: In Japanese lore the only female among the “Seven Lucky Gods” is Benten, the Sea Goddess, also known as the goddess of literature and music. In this remarkably detailed ivory carving (which could be classified as a netsuke or okimono), she is crafted playing her flute while riding on a Shi Shi (Buddhist lion) amid the waves. To the left of the shi shi are two little oni demons reading a scroll. The detail in this fine netsuke is incredible, from Benten’s flowing scarf, bird headd... Click for details

This is an amusing, well-patinated ivory netsuke of a seated oni wearing a tiger-striped loin cloth, his foot in one hand, the other with a sake cup. (Netsuke carvers were known to represent the mischievous demons in whimsical and humorous activities and this small carving is an excellent example of such whimsy.) The oni's facial expression with wide eyes, baring his fanged teeth and clutching his foot contribute further to the jocular mood of the piece. Inlaid with horn and jet, the netsuke is...

A masterful 20th Century signed ivory netsuke after Gyokusai depicting a popular netsuke theme of a very young boy monk asleep on a temple bell (mokugyo). A very sweetly rendered carving, the boy’s facial features are tenderly depicted, and his elaborate robe is wonderfully detailed in tinted ivory. In addition to its exquisite, if sentimental, realism, this fine netsuke is an accomplished abstract sculpture being a study of juxtaposed oval forms, the composition of which is elegant from ever...

A tiny, charming, signed, Edo period (18th/19th Century) tinted ivory netsuke with a pleasing, timeworn smoothness, depicting Sarumawashi, the traveling monkey showman, his monkey emerging from a large sack draped across his shoulders, the ends of which he is clutching with both hands. The two himotoshi are rather ingeniously placed for actual use, one back center and one along the right thigh, in such a manner that when strung and attached to an inro, both faces, that of Sarumawashi and that ...
