Natasha Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hello every one A week ago I finished the newest Ryusa style netsuke, it was carved from mammoth tusk and colored with Yashabushi and Walnut ink, its size is 2 inches across. It was the most scrupulous work which I had never carved before. I was inspired by an antique Japanese masterpiece published in the INS journal Winter 2007.

StixnCanes Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hello Natasha, Thank you so much for posting such a beautiful piece. The detailing is absolutely amazing and the whole impact of the scene, people in a bamboo grove, is completely believeable. I stood in a bamboo forest in Japan and that is exactly the feeling I had looking at your Ryusa. Magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hako Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 A real netsuke - tenical perfect as your work always is, but - what´s more , the owner can livewith the piece, let his fingers and eyes have a walk outside and inside the piece every day and it´s always something to discover. Wonderful. Hako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
