An amusing boxwood netsuke of a chubby bare-bosomed woman, by Hide. Early 19th century

Seated only wearing a skirt, she stretches and yaws widely, her long hair turned into a bun at the back. Signed Hide.
Height 5.3 cm

The subject, often identified as Okame, can be interpreted as a parody on Daruma who stretches and yawns after his nine-year-long meditation.
