W.541. Okimono two sage.

This exquisite and quintessentially Japanese carving represents the Zen masters Kanzan and Jittoku, holding a scroll. As so often with this subject, they are shown beaming with joyous delight at the holy contents of the scroll -- in this case, the name of Amaterasu Okami, the great Sun Goddess and highest of the kami in the Shinto pantheon.

The group is approximately 116mm (4.5") high and is signed on the base Isshin. It dates from the late Meiji era, 1880 - 1890. Carved from a single piece of ivory, it is in excellent condition, with some natural yellowing (especially at the rear) and no signs of damage or restoration. Some collection numbers have been written on the base in ink, now very faded

The carving is of the highest quality; the piece is a wonderful study of character. It is impossible to hold this in your hands and not smile.
