A soft and finely crafted boxwood netsuke depicting an intimate and evocative scene of a young nude woman kneeling at an onsen (温泉), the traditional Japanese hot spring baths.

On the reverse are the himotoshi, the holes that allow the cord to pass through, one large and one small.

It is interesting to note that in Japanese culture great importance is given to the “communion in nudity” at onsen, as this experience is considered capable of breaking down social barriers and facilitating encounters and connections between people.

Netsuke, composed of the kanji ne (根), meaning "root," and tsuke (付け), meaning "to attach," are small Japanese sculptures originally used as fasteners to secure objects to the sashes of kimono (obi 帯). From the late 19th century they became highly collectible in Europe and America, admired for the variety of subjects, the fine details, the patina and their strong tactile appeal.

---The netsuke is in good condition. Please refer to the pictures for further details.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
