A WOOD NETSUKE OF A TENGU STIRRING MISO
Unsigned
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
A wood netsuke of a tengu holding his amusingly long nose in both hands to stir miso in a bowl held between his feet. He is wearing a tokin cap, and his long hair and the wings in the back are carved with extraordinary detail. Appealing patina to the dark accentuated wood. Good, irregular himotoshi on the underside.
HEIGHT 3.5 cm
Condition: Very good condition.
Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection.
The tengu are mythical forest dwellers, led by their king Sojobo and can take on a fully human form. They are often associated with erotic netsuke (shunga) due to their long nose, and often depicted together with the naughty Shinto goddess Okame.
