Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art

Japanese Meiji (19thC) tobacco black leather pouch or purse (fukuro) with sterling clasp (kanemono) and manju netsuke. The kanemano displays a detailed writhing devil (oni), amidst his treasures rendered in sterling silver and mounted on textured leather. On the interior flap is a sterling, copper, and gold repoussé saver plate (signed) with the figure of oni running through the clouds. The pouch comes with a wonderful embossed sterling chrysanthemum manju netsuke with several heavy metal kanagu and chains individually hand-soldered connecting to the black leather pouch. The workmanship indicates that it was designed for an aristocratic samurai class individual and was probably used as a coin purse (no tobacco traces). Pouch measures 12 x 9cm (4.75 x 3.5in), manju 5cm (2in) diameter, chain 12cm (4.5in).
