A well-worn wood netsuke of Okame clipping her toenails. The half-naked Shinto goddess of mirth has typically large puffed cheeks, a pronounced forehead, and neatly tied hair. Very large himotoshi through the back, the cord-holes pleasingly worn. The wood bearing a fine dark patina. A quite simple carving with an irresistible character and charm - one of the few netsuke which have been clearly worn and cherished by their owner(s). HEIGHT 4.2 cm Condition: Very good, worn condition. Stunning patina. Provenance: Ex-collection Teddy Hahn, Darmstadt. Purchased from Robert Fleischel in 1997.
