Antique Japanese Carved Netsuke
Happy Drunker
Gazing The Moon
Signature: unsigned, Circa: Showa, early 1900s'
H 1.5 in.(3.8cm), W 1 in.(2.5cm), D 1 in.(2.5cm)
Condition: very good!

A whimsical thin man with a large head and a nearly emaciated body, kneeling on one knee in a squatting position looking up skyward, two dazed eyes are detailed with sagging pockets, and under his large flat nose is a silly grin with broken teeth. Judging from the sake cup in his right hand, and in his left an oversized jar incised “wine” in kanji character. The unmistakable drunker may well be a farmer celebrating the harvest moon, enjoying life as it was for farmers during the Edo era under the Shogun rules. This artfully rendered netsuke is hand carved from prefered natural material in the Showa period. The surface appears moist in cream white color with distinct cross-hatching grain and striations. Although featuring many carved-through areas, decades has passed it remains in pristine condition due to the quality of the material. There is no cracks and no damage of any kind observed.
