Description
JAPAN, 19th century
Carved boxwood okimono, signed Haramitsu
Taking the form of a toad resting on a Shinto temple mat, the eyes inlaid with brown horn, the whole treated in an extremely naturalistic taste, the piece worked throughout. Bearing a Haramitsu signature "春光" engraved on the underside.

Provenance: French family collection. Supposedly brought back from Asia in the mid-twentieth century by a family relative known as Marcel. The presence of a book dedicated by Michel Beurdeley to Marcel (1962) testifies to his interest in Far Eastern art. Passed down through the generations to the current owners.
Comparison: For a very similar netsuke, see the MET Museum collections under inventory no. 91.1.1010.
