Item Details
Description
19th century staghorn netsuke of seated Kikujido - the Chrysanthemum Boy - with a chrysanthemum flower by his shoulder. Kikujido was a favorite page of the Emperor, but was condemned to exile. The Emperor taught Kikujido a sentence by Buddha to thank him for his loyalty. Kikujido left and settled in a valley full of chrysanthemums, and spent his days writing the phrase on the petals so he would not forget it. Nice carving, good face, excellent patina, great feel of age. Porous center of stag antler on the bottom is plugged as is usual with staghorn, and plug is carved as part of the netsuke. Height 1.18 inches.
