EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the obverse side of a netsuke, dating back to around 1870. Crafted from ivory by the talented Kokusai, Ozaki (attributed to), this intricate piece of art measures 3.7 cm in width and is currently held in a private collection. The delicate carving on this medallion-shaped netsuke depicts an enchanting scene inspired by Oriental mythology and folklore. A beautifully detailed bat and dragon are brought to life through relief work, creating a sense of depth and movement within the piece. The ryusa manju form adds another layer of elegance to this netsuke, with its oval shape resembling a honeycomb design. The openwork technique used allows light to pass through the intricate patterns, enhancing its visual appeal. As we admire this remarkable creation, it is important to note that it falls under public domain due to its age. Its historical significance as well as artistic value make it an invaluable treasure for enthusiasts and collectors alike. A© Paul Freeman has skillfully captured every detail of this exquisite netsuke in his photograph print, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty without any commercial intentions or implications. Let us immerse ourselves in the rich cultural heritage embodied by this stunning Eastern artwork.
