The hako netsuke consisting of two parts, the lid crafted as an amusingly large-browed karasu tengu, very much possessing the usual vitality and self-portrait character of Michale Birch’s carvings; the eyes inlaid in ruby. The lower compartment is decorated with feathers detailed with gold hiramaki-e. The interior of dense nashiji and textured black lacquer. A central himotoshi underneath, the looped cord attachment within. Signed to the interior MHB and further with a gold lacquered signature to the side TOMIZO.

HEIGHT 3.6 cm, LENGTH 4.2 cm

Condition: Excellent condition.
Provenance: Ex-collection Tomizo Saratani.

The present netsuke is a very rare collaboration between the two talented contemporary artists Michael Birch and Tomizo Saratani. Only two netsuke of this type were created, both hako netsuke, one being the present piece and the second a tanuki illustrated as fig. 18 in the same article as the tengu hako. One was kept by Tomizo Saratani (the present piece) and the other by Michael Birch.

Michael Henry Birch (1926-2008) was a potter, painter, writer and contemporary netsuke carver, holding his first one-man show at the Eskenazi Gallery in London in 1976. He was designated a master carver by Japan's artists' guild, the first such honor for a non-Japanese artist. He was versatile in many materials and his work showed undeniable vitality and character. Some collectors consider many of the faces to be self-portraits, a notion which the artist strongly denied.

Tomizo Saratani was born in 1949 in Kyoto and has spent his life working on traditional Japanese lacquer (urushi). After his studies under various teachers, in 1975 he moved to Vienna as an instructor and restorer for the MAK - the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts - where he supervised the restorations of lacquered furniture in Austrian public collections for eight years. He then worked as lacquer restorer and netsuke artist in London, Chicago and his hometown in Hokkaido and in 2003 he decided to dedicate himself solely to his original works. The subjects Tomizo picks are very often animals, which he is able to render with impressive naturalism.
