Katalognummer: NE0320-088 A RARE AND FINE NAGOYA SCHOOL WOOD NETSUKE OF A SLEEPING FARMER Unsigned Japan, Nagoya, late 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) A beautifully rounded, ideally shaped netsuke with a warm patina, depicting a famer fast asleep and holding a rope attached to a harvesting bag. The expression is masterful and serene, reminiscent of the sleeping Nagoya school Shojos by Tadatoshi and related carvers. Finely incised hair, well-carved garment folds and large, beautifully worn himotoshi through the bag and underside. HEIGHT 3.2 cm Condition: Very good condition with a beautiful patina. Miniscule wear to the edge of one foot. Provenance: American private collection, purchased from Midori Gallery. Though unsigned, this piece exhibits all the defining attributes of a Nagoya school netsuke, though instead of being one of a hundred sleeping Shojo, the depiction appears to be rather unique.
