KUNIHIRO: A WOOD NETSUKE OF THE THREE SAKE TESTERS KUNIHIRO: A WOOD NETSUKE OF THE THREE SAKE TESTERS By Kunihiro, signed Kunihiro saku 國廣作 Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) The three sages, Shaka, Roshi, and Koshi seated around a round table, enveloped in their long flowing robes and showing cheerful and amusing expressions as they are clearly inebriated from testing a little too much sake. Two chrysanthemum-ringed himotoshi to the underside and signed KUNIHIRO saku (Made by Kunihiro). Condition: Good condition with minor surface wear, age cracks, and light scratches. A tiny chip to one headdress. Provenance: From the private collection of Armand Basi. A copy of the collector’s notes, no. 779, accompanies this lot. Armand Basi (1924-2009) was a Spanish businessman and fashion designer, co-founder of the fashion firm bearing his name. He was a Japanese art enthusiast and amassed a large collection of netsuke in his lifetime. In 1948, along with his brother Josep, Armand Basi founded a small knitting company inspired by their mother Mercé Sabi's knitted sweaters. By the end of the 1950s the business had expanded into a large textiles company, opening a factory on Balcells Street in Barcelona in 1958. In 1961–62, the Basis signed an exclusive contract with Lacoste to manufacture and distribute Lacoste products in Spain. In 1986, Basi launched his eponymous fashion brand, which produced accessories, perfume, jewelry and watches, as well as clothing in more than 400 stores across Spain, Europe, North America and Asia. The subject represents Sakusui sankyo with three sages, Roshi (Lao Tze), Shaka (Buddha) and Koshi (Confucius), who are often depicted tasting sake from a jar. This depiction is a metaphor explaining that although religious or philosophical origins are expressed differently, ultimately, they are derived from the same source.
