A stunning signed Fine museum Quality 19th century early Meiji period Netsuke of two frogs on a lotus leaf with lotus flower. Signed Tomoyuki. School of Tomochika. This beautiful netsuke with its two frogs on a curled lotus leaf and delicately carved flower is the work of a supremely accomplished master artist, expertly articulating such features as the beautiful flower petals, the skin on the frogs and the wonderfully expressive little frog faces which lends a sophisticated touch of humour.
Signed in a oval to the base. The himotashi are created naturally in the overlaping stems of the flower and leaf.This rare unusual authentic Netsuke displays a masterful carving style that unquestionably dates it to 19th Century Meiji when fine quality works were produced in substantial quantities by artists in Osaka, Kyoto, and Edo (Tokyo).
A reference to Tomoyuki and his signature may be found on page 1167 of Lazarnicks book and also mentioned in \"Netsuke\" by Neil Davey. Examples of his work can also be found in the British museum.Please see photos for more visual information. A very unusual collectors piece from a private UK collection.
