Lot 2249 | Netsuke: Angler mit Oktopus
Japan. Edo-Zeit. Um 1800. Kensu als Fischer, mit konzentrierter Miene, kahlköpfig, mit dichtem Lockenkranz unter
hoch gewölbtem Schädel und deutlichen Sennin-Ohren, sehr langbeinig und hoch gewachsen in
einem kurzen, gegürteten und kurzärmeligen Gewand. Er steht hinter einem hohen Fangtopf,
aus dem der gefangene Oktopus ängstlich zu ihm aufschaut, kleinere Tentakel mit Saugnäpfen
schauen hervor, während der Fischer mit beiden Händen angestrengt an dem längsten Tentakel
zerrt, so dass er sich nach hinten biegt. Marines Elfenbein mit wunderschön glasiger
Oberfläche, die eine warme, sehr gute, teils glänzende natürliche Patina hat. Das lange,
gebogene Netsuke steht auf den kleinen Füßen im Gleichgewicht. Kensu wird meist mit einer
Garnele auf der Schulter dargestellt, aber laut Koji Hoten, II, S.171f. "Pieuvre", hat er
als Sennin manchmal einen Oktopus. Band I, S.480, Tafel XXVII, Nr. 12 zeigt Kensu als
Priester, der Kopf unserem Netsuke ähnelnd dargestellt, mit beiden Tieren zugleich.. H.12,1cm. Zustand A.
