拍品专文

This humorous subject of Shoki trying to catch an elusive and cunning oni must have been a very popular one and several examples are illustrated in Coullery/Newstead, The Baur Collection (Geneva 1977), pp. 100-105

A similar piece by Meikeisai Hojitsu is illustrated in Neil K. Davey, Netsuke (London 1974), p.148, no.441
