Ɏ AN IVORY NETSUKE OF A RECLINING HOTEI WITH HOSSU (FLYWHISK)Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Finely carved in a reclining posture, holding a hossu, the netsuke of a type meant to be worn horizontally reclining on the top of the obi. His loose robe with finely carved folds and opening at the chest to reveal his rotund belly and ample chest, a cheerful expression on his chubby face, the mouth agape in a laugh, the back with two generously excavated, asymmetrical himotoshi.LENGTH 6.1 cmCondition: Very good condition, appealingly worn, minor age cracks, light honey-yellow patina to the reverse. The himotoshi clearly display signs of use.Provenance: Acquired at Kunsthaus Lempertz, Asian Art, 6 September 2017, Cologne, lot 500.Netsuke such as the present lot are of unusually high quality for early figural ivory netsuke. Unlike the seated Hotei types, which tend to follow earlier Chinese models, these horizontal variants are purely Japanese in concept.Trade Certificate: In accordance with new EU regulations that went into effect in January 2022, we have applied for a certificate to sell this item within the EU.
