A WOOD AND IVORY NETSUKE OF SHOJO DANCING
Shojo is drunk from sake as always and dancing with a folding fan in one hand. Her girlish face is inset with ivory. Many stories exist about Shojo, due to her name also being that of the orangutan she is also called the ghost of this animal. A characteristic feature, besides her drunkenness, is her exceptionally long hair, which in this work reaches the ground. Himotoshi on the reverse, signed ISSHOSAI.
