Japanese Antique wooden Netsuke Raccoon dog Mythical Tanuki Edo Meiji NW267
Description
This captivating Tanuki Netsuke, created during the late Edo to early Meiji period, represents the legendary tanuki (raccoon dog) in a unique style. In Japanese folklore, tanuki is known for its mischievous nature and magical powers. The exaggerated facial expressions often seen in Edo-period paintings and ukiyo-e woodblock prints, especially those depicting shape-shifting tanuki, are a notable feature of this netsuke. This piece reflects such characteristics, with a strong and impressive facial expression, reminiscent of the mythical tanuki.
The standout feature of this netsuke is its powerful and dramatic facial expression. It is quite rare to encounter netsuke with such an expression, making this piece highly unusual. The tanuki’s large eyes, sharp features, and slightly eerie smile evoke the mysterious powers of the shape-shifting tanuki in folklore.
Netsuke with such an expression are extremely rare, and this piece is a valuable collectible that should not be missed.
