A SET OF SHICHI FUKUJIN MAMMOTH IVORY NETSUKE BY ALEXANDER DERKACHENKOMammoth ivory netsukeUkraine, contemporary Derkachenko has always had a special talent for carving faces, and also made netsuke of the customer’s portrait. In this work, he has carved the Shichi Fukujin, the Seven Lucky Gods of Japan. They all have different appearances and facial features representing their specific characteristics. Hotei is laughing happily, as is Ebisu, the god of fishermen, who is holding a big fish he just caught. Fukurokuju, the god of wisdom and longevity, with the typical elongated forehead, and Daikoku, the god of wealth, naturally also appear happy. On the other hand, Jurojin, next to a crane, and the martial Bishamon, appear rather morose. The only female Lucky God, Benten, is playing the lute. All seven works are carved with great accuracy as ‘real’ netsuke, regarding the form and correctly placed himotoshi. All are signed, as is the box with tasteful case.Dimensions: HEIGHT 3.3-4.1 CMCondition: Good conditionProvenance: From an Ukrainian collection
