A lobed form by Nakajima Yasumi enclosed in the original signed wooden box. It is 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall and in fine condition. The name of Nakajima first came to notice in 1908, when the first generation Yasumi (1877-1950) was awarded at the Senkatsu Kinen Exhibition. He was a consistent exhibitor with the Teiten-Nitten national exhibitions and was also quite active abroad, being prized at the 1931 Belgian Exposition and serving as juror for the Japanese submissions to the Paris Exposition in 1925 where he was subsequently prized. His work is held in the collection of the Imperial Household Agency as well as the V&A and he served as mentor to a generation of young bronze artists. His son, Nakajima Yasumi II (1905-1988) took the family name in 1951. Yasumi II graduated from the National Craft Institute of Sendai and was first exhibited in 1933 at the Export Crafts exhibition organized by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. He exhibited several times abroad including Paris and Buenos Aires. He was also consistently accepted in the Nitten exhibitions, garnering the Hokutosho there in 1952. In 1969 he received an honor as a person of merit in Crafts from Osaka prefecture.
