Shojo by Kazutomo

A mechanical wood netsuke in the form of a overflowing sake jar. Activate the hinge and the interior reveals a minutia carved Shojo on a platform, performing, with a sake cup and ladel. 

Signed: 一知 Kazutomo. 

For a near identical example, please see: Netsuke & Inro artists, by George Lazarnick. Page 603. Previously I retailed a piece with the same signature, which, based on that particular netsuke, one might observe a similarity in the face to netsuke aligned to Otomitsu (formerly Otoman).
