ISSHINSAI MASATOSHI: A FINE WOOD NETSUKE OF A BITCH AND PUP By Isshinsai Masatoshi, signed Masatoshi Japan, Nagoya, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Published: Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part B, p. 478. Carved from cherry wood and finely stained to emulate the piebald fur coat of the dog. Depicted is a mother placing one paw on her young pup, which has a very amusing expression. The fur is neatly incised, the paws are naturalistically carved, and the tail of the mother forms a pleasing curl. Natural himotoshi and signature within a polished reserve below the pup MASATOSHI 正利. HEIGHT 2.7 cm Condition: Excellent condition. Provenance: British private collection, stored in a bank vault for 30 years and now offered for the first time, coming with two valuations from Neil K. Davey from 1974 & 1984, collection no. 138.
