| In the realm of Hirado netsuke less than 20% are in colors other than the soft white glaze characteristic of Hirado. This netsuke is of a brown and tan tiger with his head growling to the side and resting on a stalk of white bamboo. There is a very rare book on Japanese Hirado netsuke and small okimono that is long out or print – unfortunately it is completely in Japanese so we do not know the author, publisher, or date of the book. The book contains photos of over 300 netsuke – primarily from the Meiji era, circa 1870-1895. A photo of this netsuke appears on page 37 of the book, Illustration # 61. Our netsuke measures just over 1 ½” long by 1” high by ¾” thick. It is in very good condition with three minor chips at the ends of the bamboo stalk. A fine and rare example of Hirado netsuke. | |||||||||
