Japanese ivory netsuke depicting a South Sea fisherman with long, curly hair, leaning on a giant perforated sphere and busy moving it with an expression of effort on his face. His arms in the pushing position and his bare torso suggest the intensity of his effort as he tries to move the enormous sphere. The himotoshi of this Japanese ivory netsuke depicting a fisherman is natural as the holes are created naturally. Origin: Japan Period: Meiji end of 19th century. Dimensions: 3 x 2.4 x 3.4 cm. State of conservation: Very good
