A spectacular Meiji period Tenmoku Chawan by Eiraku Zengoro decorated in a flamboyant style with precious metals. A golden pine trunk rises, almost entirely obscured by the mass of silver pine needles built up both within and without the bowl. It is most powerful in comparison to the ordinarily subdued Kyo-yaki ware of the Meiji era. The stamp on the base is undoubtedly that of Wazen. The bowl is just less than 5 inches (12.5 cm) diameter and in perfect condition. ...click for details

A monkey snarls from the lower branch of a massive cedar in this museum quality ink and light color on silk painting dated 1902 by important Meiji artist Okutani Shuseki.

Tucked safely into the branches the Macaque glares down, the snarling face and graduated color of the fur meticulously painted. It is bordered in purple silk and comes enclosed in a signed wooden box. The scroll measures 41 x 93 in ...click for details

A dragon gallivants about the white crackled surface of this bun-shaped Mizusashi hand painted by important Meiji period artist Imao Keinen enclosed in a signed wooden box. Like a wisp of smoke, the mythic beast floats in the air, whiskers flowing behind in the wind, his body a soft, semitransparent single stroke of gray ink. Color permeates the white crackled rim, adding to the affect and it comes with a black lacquered wooden lid. The vessel is 8-1/2 inches (21.5 cm) diameter. Aside from s ...click for details
