Rare and unusual representation of Kannon displaying the Western influence which penetrated Japan during the Edo era. Carved with exceptional skill in fine quality ivory, cream to honey color, lightly stained, polished to a silken semi-gloss surface with a mellow patina of age. Reverent treatment is highly exceptional in the netsuke tradition, which lends itself more to humor and irony. As well the position of the hands holding the rosary is unusual and resembles icons of Christian figures and saints. A straightforward seriousness communicates reverence and devotion.

While already assured of Buddhahood, Kannon remains in this world to comfort suffering sentient beings. Perhaps because of the maternal, feminine traits and gentle expressions, statues of Kannon inspire a greater affection in Japan than do any other Buddhist figures.
