Dark brown wooden netsuke of a rat on a radish, horn eyes, holding a seed between its paws. In Japan, the term "nezumi" refers to both the mouse and the rat. They are considered the messenger of Daikokuten, the deity of trade and wealth. In the Chinese zodiac, which has been adopted by Shintoism in Japan, the rat (or mouse) is the first of the twelve animals, a position which, according to the many legends telling the story of the twelve animals and their election, is due to its cunning and intelligence. He is often represented with a radish. Japan - Meiji Era (1868-1912) Height: 1.1 in. (2.8 cm) - width: 3.15 in. (8 cm) - depth: 0.79 in. (2 cm)
