Ɏ A RARE TALL IVORY NETSUKE OF A BUDDHIST DISCIPLE Unsigned Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) The tall netsuke finely carved as a standing Buddhist disciple, the figure shown upright with ankles together and holding a hossu (Buddhist flywhisk) close to his left side, the thick bristles sweeping gently over the right shoulder. He is dressed in voluminous robes, the upper garment incised with a tiger pelt while the lower section is decorated with bundles of foliage. The robe is secured at the waist by a belt suspending a hyotan (double-gourd flask) to the back. The face is rendered with a mirthful expression, framed by a scrolling goatee and neatly incised hair drawn back by a band and falling in thick curling tufts. The ivory has developed a pleasing, softly worn patina consistent with age and handling. Good, asymmetrical himotoshi through the back. HEIGHT 9.8 cm Literature comparison: For a related ivory netsuke of a courtier wearing an elaborate costume and holding a hossu, 9.4 cm high, see Barry Davies Oriental Art (1996), Netsuke Through Three Centuries, pp. 22-23, no. 17.
