A scholar sits alone in a whitewashed hut lost in autumn foliage in this fine landscape by prominent artist Hirai Baisen (1889-1969) enclosed in the original signed wooden box dating circa 1920.

The wispy character is lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the autumn of his own life as hae gazes at the trees, or perhaps it is the autumn of a hopeful age of democracy which would shortly be brought to an end with the rise of imper ...click for details

Two 19th century porcelain sake cups likely from the Koto (Eastern Lake) kilns of the Ii clan at Hikone.

The detail is extremely fine and worthy of a Daimyo. It is signed on the base Tadasu and comes in a modern kiri-box .
