A CHARMING LACQUERED WOOD NETSUKE OF A BOY WITH SHISHIMAI MASK
Unsigned
Japan, second half of 19th century
An unusual and charming composition. The boy, carved from pale stained wood, is wearing a vest and holding up a Shishimai mask, with a movable jaw and lacquered in red. His facial expression is quite amusing and delicately carved. The boy has a round face with minutely inlaid eyes and his hair is finely incised and inked. The underside shows his genitals and natural himotoshi through his crossed legs.
HEIGHT 4.2 cm
Condition: The left foot is restored. Otherwise excellent condition.
Provenance: European collection.
The Shishimai festival was imported from China during the Tang dynasty
and is celebrated during the New Year to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.
