Gama Sennin, a sage with deep alchemical knowledge of ethno-pharmacology, the herbs and medicines that heal the body and inspire the soul. As shown in this Edo era antler netsuke. The youthful sennin is clothed in banyan leaves, and carrying a large three-legged toad on his shoulders, a symbol of fortune and wealth. The netsuke is cream to rust in aged patina, carved in round and capped in cylinder form, free of projections or extraneous attachments, tactile and well worn from handling over time, bearing a smooth satin finish with burnished highlights and himotoshi on the back.
