EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Netsuke, dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. Crafted from wood by the talented artist Gyokuzan Kodo, this exquisite piece measures approximately 7.2 cm in height and is currently held in a private collection. The Netsuke depicts a standing Sennin, a legendary figure often associated with Chinese Daoist immortals. With its intricately carved details and masterful craftsmanship, this wooden sculpture captures the essence of Eastern artistry. The Sennin is portrayed wearing flowing robes that drape elegantly around his body, emphasizing his dignified presence. His long beard adds an air of wisdom and authority to his character while his grimace suggests intensity or concentration on some unknown task. This Netsuke serves as both an accessory and a belt toggle, showcasing its functional purpose within traditional Japanese attire. Its cultural significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of Buddhist beliefs and practices. Photographed by Paul Freeman, this image brings attention to the beauty and historical importance of this Netsuke while reminding us of the rich heritage behind it. As we admire this intricate carving from centuries past, we are transported into a world where art seamlessly intertwines with spirituality and tradition.
