JOBUN: A RARE WOOD NETSUKE OF A MISO MAKER By Jobun, signed Jobun 如文 Japan, Edo (Tokyo), late 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) A simple carving with an irresistible charm - a trademark of Jobun who made mostly simple wood netsuke depicting daily life scenes usually with particularly good expressions, which are unparalleled in netsuke art and immediately recognizable to the trained eye. Depicted here is a man grinding miso with a mortar inside a pestle, one hand pressed against his lips in a flattered manner, the expression treated in the virtuoso Jobun-style. Asymmetrical, generously excavated himotoshi underneath and the boldly incised two-character signature JOBUN. The wood bearing a fine patina. HEIGHT 3.4 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor associated surface wear, some imperfections to the wood. Provenance: The Gabor Wilhelm Collection, Paris.
