CHIKUSAI: AN INLAID WOOD NETSUKE OF A RAT CATCHER
By Chikusai, signed Chikusai
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
A wood netsuke of a frustrated rat catcher holding down a box with which he tries to catch a rather large rat, which has escaped over his back. He is wearing a long flowing garment and has his hair bound up into a knot. Contrary to no. 193, he is not facing backwards towards the rat - probably he has not noticed yet his failed attempt to catch the rat, though he certainly suspects the futility of his action. Very good himotoshi through the side and underside and signature CHIKUSAI 竹齋 on the underside of the box.
HEIGHT 3 cm, LENGTH 3.8 cm
Condition: One hand and foot reattached - otherwise good condition.
Provenance: British collection.
