EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate Netsuke, crafted around 1870 by the talented artist Kokusai Ozaki. Carved from ivory, this small masterpiece measures just 4.2 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image, captured by A© Paul Freeman, beautifully captures the intricate details of this oriental treasure. The Netsuke features an exquisite low relief carving depicting a mesmerizing snowflake surrounded by a geometric floral pattern. Its Eastern influence is evident in its elegant design and meticulous craftsmanship. This particular style of carving is known as ryusa, which involves creating intricate scenes on thin layers of material. The photograph highlights the skillful artistry that went into creating this Netsuke, showcasing every fine line and delicate curve with precision. The contrast between the smooth ivory surface and the intricately carved design adds depth to the overall composition. As we admire this piece through Paul Freeman's lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Japanese culture. This Netsuke serves as a testament to the mastery of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure even today.
