MASAYUKI: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A MASK CARVER IMITATING USOFUKI MASK
By Kato Masayuki, signed Masayuki with kao
Japan, Edo/Tokyo, mid to late 19th century
Finely crafted as a mask carver, wearing an elaborately folded robe and cap, and holding a chisel and the mask of Usufoki. Amusingly, he is imitating the distorted facial features of Usufoki - perhaps he is gaining inspiration from the act. The underside well-carved with large himotoshi and the signature MASAYUKI and kao 正之.
HEIGHT 3.5 cm
Condition: Very good condition with miniscule scratches and wear to the wood.
Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection.
