Subject:Looking for Netsuke artist from signature
Posted By: Fabian Fri, Jan 01, 2021 IP: 46.128.105.158

Happy new year everyone!

My mother has had the attached netsuke for four decades - it was one of the first gifts from my father. We were wondering if anyone was able to identify the artist? It would be great to find out some more about this piece.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Best wishes
Fabian

We have a netsuke by Gyokuseki also. I believe it dates from circa the 1930s.

Cheers,
Stan

Thank you for your help! We are very excited to know that!

I am sorry if this is extremely naive, but is there any way of finding out wether that may have been a "known" artist? I'm not looking for a jackpot of gold here, what I mean is, are there maybe some other known pieces from the same person? We would love to compare our piece to others of the same artist, because we really love the filigree (sorry if this is the wrong word, I am not a native speaker, had to look that one up) of the netsuke.

Thank you again for the answer! :D

I note that the signature is different between our two pieces. I wonder if they are the same artist.

Cheers,
Stan
