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.
