Exquisite antique Japanese cinnabar lacquer manju netsuke, finely hand-carved in a rare hexagonal form. 

This double-sided netsuke features intricate high-relief carvings:

Side A depicts a reclining man beside a sake barrel, cup, and lush foliage – possibly referencing a legendary poet or sage in a moment of leisure.

Side B shows a seated figure with traditional Japanese auspicious symbols including the mallet of luck (uchide no kozuchi) and a treasure sack – evoking themes of good fortune.

Each surface is richly decorated with traditional wave, pine, and chrysanthemum patterns, reflecting both Japanese and Chinese artistic influence.

Size: Approx. 4.8 cm wide (1.89 in)

Type: Two-part manju netsuke with complete himotoshi (cord channel)

Period: Likely late Edo to early Meiji era (mid–late 19th century)

Condition: Excellent antique condition. No cracks or significant loss to the lacquer. Clean fitting interior. See photos.
