Description A LARGE NAGOYA SCHOOL WOOD NETSUKE OF A SLUMBERING SHOJOUnsignedJapan, Nagoya, late 18th to early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)An unusually large and boldly carved execution of this classic model, the drunken sprite in a deep slumber induced by a hefty amount of sake. One hand is placed in its lap and the other pressed against the cheek, supporting the face, probably dreaming of drinking more sake. The finely incised long hair neatly falls down the back and the well-carved robe is adorned with neatly carved shokko and lozenge patterns. The wood of a good color with an appealing, warm patina. Very large, generously excavated himotoshi. The raised rectangular reserve where the signature is usually found is left blank.SIZE 4.5 X 4.5 x 3.8 cmCondition: Very good condition, minor surface wear and occasional light scratches.Provenance: From a noble estate in Hesse, Germany.
