Unusual 19th century Japanese small page turner / book mark carved in low relief with two landscape scenes in scholarly taste: the front with a scholar’s hut dramatically perched on high vertical rocks above pine trees, the back with pines on rocks with a view of two sailing junks on the sea. Beautiful design perfectly imitating scroll format - what you see are really two unrolled scroll paintings, superb quality quiet carving, pleasant wear and patina. Signed KASHI (alternative reading is Hanayuki) - most probably the artist was a netsuke carver. Wonderful object for scholar’s desk. Length 4 1/16 inches.
