SHOKIN: A RARE WOOD NETSUKE OF A CAT AND TORTOISE
By Shokin, signed Shokin
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
A good and unusual stained wood netsuke of a cat wearing a decorative collar around its neck and sitting on a kame (tortoise), which seems not to be particularly disturbed by this. Its head and legs are slightly retracted. The cat has a silly, pleased expression on its face whilst it lifts one paw up to prod the shell of the turtle. Both animals have black inlaid eyes. The patterns on the turtle shell are precisely carved. Himotoshi and signature SHOKIN 松琴 in a reserve on the underside.
HEIGHT 3.4 cm, LENGTH 4.5 cm
