The darkened wood bearing a superb patina. The back with superb himotoshi, generously excavated and tucked under the kimono. Signed in boldly incised characters MINKOKU.HEIGHT 7.7 cmCondition: Very good condition, minor expected wear, superb patina, tiny chip to one foot.Provenance: European collection.Genryosai Minkoku I (succeeded by Minkoku II) excelled in carvings of figures, his netsuke possessing remarkable vigor, and was one of the few netsukeshi who is documented being famous during their lifetime.Literature comparison:The present netsuke compares favorably, particularly in the expression, to an unsigned netsuke formerly in the Dr Joseph & Edie Kurstin and Virginia Atchley collections, published in Okada, Neill (1980) Real and Imaginary Beings, p. 87, no. 84 and Atchley, Virginia / Davey, Neil (2006) The Virginia Atchley Collection of Japanese Miniature Arts, p. 135, N179.
