Description

SHUMIN: A WOOD NETSUKE OF A PREENING GOOSE By Hara Shumin, signed Shumin 舟民 saku 作 Japan, Edo (Tokyo), mid-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Finely carved as a goose preening itself, its head turned back to the left, forming a compact composition. The beak is elegantly curved, the feathers finely incised, and the eyes show a fierce expression. The underside with two asymmetrical, generously excavated himotoshi, beside the signature SHUMIN saku [made by Shumin]. LENGTH 4.5 cm Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear. Fine, dark patina. Provenance: Ex-collection Richard R. Silverman. Richard R. Silverman (1932-2019) was a renowned Asian art collector with one of the largest private collections of netsuke outside of Japan. He lived in Tokyo between 1964 and 1979 and began to collect netsuke there in 1968. Since the 1970s, he wrote and lectured about netsuke and was an Asian art consultant for Christie's, Sotheby's, and Bonhams. His gift of 226 ceramic netsuke to the Toledo Museum of Art constitutes perhaps the largest public collection of these miniature clay sculptures in the world. After moving to California, Silverman became a member of the Far Eastern Art Council at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1984. In 1993, he joined LACMA's Executive Board. He served on the board of directors for the International Society of Appraisers from 1986 to 1994 and served nine years as chair for the City of West Hollywood Fine Arts Commission. Richard Silverman was posthumously awarded the Order of the Rising Sun for his decades-long promotion of Japanese culture. Hara Shumin was a pupil of Shugetsu I and carved figures and animals from boxwood, which he used to great advantage. The signature is of clearly defined characters without reserve, the character Hara is usually omitted. Literature comparison: A closely related example by Shumin is illustrated in Davey, Neil K. (1974) Netsuke: A comprehensive study based on the M.T. Hindson Collection, p. 107, no. 303; another is illustrated in Meinertzhagen, Frederick / Lazarnick, George (1986) MCI, Part B, p. 776; and a third is illustrated in Bushell, Raymond (1975) Netsuke Familiar & Unfamiliar, New York/Tokyo, p. 208, no. 648. Auction comparison: Compare a closely related wood netsuke by Hara Shumin, described as a duck and dated to the 19th century, at Bonhams, The Harriet Szechenyi Sale of Japanese Art, 8 November 2011, London, lot 190 (sold for 4,750 GBP).
