Subject:Lrg Japanese Netsuke Frog
Posted By: PeterJ Thu, Mar 05, 2015 IP: 76.26.103.178 I have this carved wood Japanese Frog that looks like a netsuke but is very large at 4 1/2" tall and 6 1/2" long. It is signed on the base. Does anyone know who made this and when and what it was used for. Thank you so much. |

Posted By: Guy Tue, Mar 10, 2015 I should consider it as a wood okimono of a toad, signed Masamitsu (正光), followed by a 'kakihan' or 'kao'. |
