18th-Century Ivory Masterpiece: Dorakusai Gosisa Netsuke Postcard
Discover the exquisite world of Japanese art through our rare Dorakusai Gosisa netsuke postcard. This vintage collectible features a late 18th-century ivory masterpiece by the renowned sculptor Dorakusai. The postcard beautifully captures the legendary Thai poet Gosisa, illustrating the cultural exchange between China and Japan.
Our Dorakusai Gosisa netsuke postcard, published in 1983 by the Fine Arts Publishing House in Moscow, vividly depicts an ivory carving. Standing at 4.9 cm tall, this netsuke was created by Master Dorakusai of the prestigious Osaka school. Moreover, it exemplifies the strong influence of Chinese literary subjects on Japanese art.
The image skillfully represents Gosisa, famous for his poetic feat. Legend has it that he wrote while balancing a heavy incense burner. In this compact piece, Gosisa stands at a table with a brush in hand. Meanwhile, he supports a bronze smoker with his left hand. The poet wears an ancient Chinese robe and ritual apron, his thick hair tucked under a small cap. Notably, Dorakusai accentuates Gosisa’s eyebrows and beard, symbolizing wisdom and creativity.
Interestingly, this Dorakusai Gosisa netsuke retains the ancient seal form (katabori). This design demonstrates its dual purpose as both art and functional object. As a result, its smooth, protruding-free design makes it comfortable to handle and use as a seal. Thus, it showcases the practicality of netsuke art.
