A very fine Tokyo school wood netsuke of Hotei at setsubun, by Tôkoku. Late 19th century

Standing with one foot slightly raised, he holds a rice measure box (masu) with roasted beans and lifts his right hand in order to throw them. Tied to his head, but worn like a hat, the mask of an Okame. The cord holes lined with green-stained bone. Signed Tôkoku and a silver-inlaid seal reading Bairyû. Chip to the right big toe smoothed.
Height 4.9 cm
