 Puppy Playing with Frog  Ivory Netsuke

The artist, Ikkosai Toun, is a well-known and recorded Tokyo carver prized for his sensitive renderings of animals in ivory. Here is an example of the artist’s ability to capture the irrepressible charm of a playful puppy. Carved from the tip of the tusk, the ivory is fine grained and dense, the color a mellow cream to gold, with age patina and an unctuous usage sheen over finely engraved hair lines and details. The puppy is wonderfully realized, its face alive with excitement, one paw poised to pounce on the seemingly implacable frog. The eyes of both are of inlaid black coral.
