A 19th Century netsuke of natural himotoshi. Carved from the tip of the tusk, cream to light gold in color, very well carved and detailed with engraving and sumi, age patina and slight wear from handling over time, depicting the legendary young general Yoshitsune with Sojobo, the king of the tengu. The karasu tengu (who have bird beaks and wings and wear the tokin, a hat useful for drinking sake) are immensely skilled in the martial arts, imparting their knowledge to Samurai they deem worthy. Sojobo trained Yoshitsune in swordsmanship, military tactics and magic. Here the youthful commander is seen playing his flute, an instrument pleasing to tengu, while Sojobo strikes a fighting posture.
