Shunga netsuke
It is a figure where the Okame hides the mask of the tengu (metaphor of genitalia) At the hem and is cute, but a slightly obscene smile is floating.
Looking closely at the back of the woman, it is a symbol of men. The part of the hair is becoming Suzuguchi. I skillfully hide the shiny picture and it is elaborate modeling。
Antique shunga netsuke is not understood by patting like this netsuke than
that which depicts sexual acts, but many people have figured out to understand.
It is a nice work that carefully looked at the cuteness of the facial features
and the detail of the bottom.
YUZAN signed.
It is bigger than the picture but it is the size of the little finger.
YUZAN's name ware described in Reikichi Ueda's"NETSUKE HANDBOOK",
I think that it is Mid Edo or late.
