Ikkan (一貫) (1817–1893 [4]) was one of the most renowned netsuke artists in Japan during the Edo period. [5] He was from Nagoya, Owari province, central Japan. [6] [7] His pieces can be found in many museum collections and achieve high prices at auctions. [8] [9] [10]
He was part of a group of carvers in Nagoya, amongst who were Masayuki (正行), Masatoshi, Masatami and Masamitsu. [11] The Nagoya school was established earlier in the 18th century under Tametaka.
