Kanman

Japanese netsuke carver From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kanman (貫満[1] 1793 – 1859)[2][3] was a Japanese netsuke carver of the Iwami school (founded by Seiyōdō Tomiharu).[4]

Most of his work was designed in the first three decades of the 19th century.[4] According to collector Anne Hull Grundy, "His netsuke [...] are extremely rare."[4]

In the historical kana orthography he was spelled "Kwanman"[5] (くゎんまん). It can also be pronounced as "Tsuramitsu" (貫満). He is also known to sign as "(Iwami-no-)Kuni" (石見国).[5][6][7]
