This depiction relates to the story of the tongue cut sparrow. Nasakeji, here shown as a bucktoothed old and simple man, is visibly surprised from the contents of the box – the facial features are sensitively crafted with a superior sense of detail.

The underside shows the himotoshi and signature YASUAKI 保明 (Homei) with inlaid seal Kodama 見玉. HEIGHT 3.8 cm Condition: Superb condition. Provenance: French private collection.
