Netsuke

Guido, Thanks for clearing up any doubts I may have had. The group I knew were bad, the two wooden ones I had no idea on, so good to know where they fall.

 

Only a few more, so I will put them out here to see how they rate.

Bernard-

Looks like a Netsuke to me as well. I agree with Bugyotsuji as to the means of attachment.  As far as date looks mid 19th C to me- no later than early Meiji.  It appears to be dark stained bpxwood?  Its a very interesting piece, very nicely carved, I like it very much.  Can you let me know the dimensions?

Agreed. I found a Daikon Netsuke the other day. Not high art, but completely guileless. The stag antler material is starting to turn semi-translucent with age. Love it, but probably not worth much in the west.

 

I have noticed how even rich people here can offer each other ordinary fruit or vegetables such as a cabbage as a simple but joyful gift.

Bugyotsuji- Love Daikon( HUNGY,AGAIN! ).  Many western collectors don't understand Netsuke at all.  To understand the subject without immersion in the Japanese aesthetic is impossible.  Could you post a picture of your Daikon? - I'd like to see it.  In reply to your last comment- " FOOD IS LOVE ".
