Hyottoko is the name of a comic character in Kyogen plays whose mask is distorted and grotesque. In this fine mask netsuke, the mouth is twisted to the right and the one eye is shut as if to ward off trouble. A very clever aspect of this netsuke is the way the carver used the upturned mouth and the left nostril to form the himotoshi holes. Fine patina marks this early elephant ivory netsuke - excellent condition.

That motif derives from the early practice of soaking the wheels for bullock carts in the Kamo River in Kyoto; wheels thus treated were stronger and held their shape longer. The design went out of fas ...click for details Japanese Lacquer Tray - Art Deco Style Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Japanese: Lacquer: Pre 1940   item# 33481 (stock# 504)  click for details Ichiban Japanese and Oriental Antiques 203.272.7392 $295.00  A Kagawa lacquer tray dating from the 1920's - measures 21 " long x 12" wide x 1 1/4' Deep - excellent colors and a pair of really nice art deco butterflies as the design for the handle.
