Boxwood. Rock cave next to a large pine in which Oni is hiding - only his upper body and the two-claw hands are visible - searched for by a determined looking Sh?ki, who is approaching brandishing a sword in his right hand. As customary for this artist, very delicately carved and engraved with dark accentuations. It is remarkable that as Tomokazu is known mainly for his animal Netsuke - MCA, however, mentions two Oni see p. 897- 904, one being this one. H.3.9cm. Signed: Tomokazu on oval reserve, cf. MCI p. 897- 904. Condition A.
