A menagerie of birds frolic among the colorful foliage on this six panel screen by Kyoto artist Seika (Sugimoto Jinzaburo, b. 1877). A variety of seasonal flora burst with fresh life across the expanse. The screen is performed with pigment on paper, featuring an auburn silk border with black lacquered frame and etched brass hardware, and even retaining the original blue backing paper.

Here are six cups enclosed in the original box titled Tetsu-e Yo-shu Guinomi (Iron decorated Drinking cups for Western Alcohol). I must admit I have never seen a set of guinomi for western alcohol before. Each piece is uniquely decorated with a different pattern in underglaze iron and is individually stamped with the Rokube mark. They are 2-1/4 inches (5.8 cm) tall, all in perfect condition. The set is likely the work of Kiyomizu Rokube IV (Rokuko, 1847-1920) or possibly his succesor Rokube V ...click for details

The emaciated figure of a Rakan wrapped in billowing robes sits smiling contentedly with a large incense basin balanced on one knee; the image enclosed in an old black lacquered wooden box. The holy figure seems chiseled from the convex slab of clay, deep grooves forming the robes over his boney form. The shroud covering is glazed in a widely crackled pale green reminiscent of Soma-yaki with less color., or some Korean Seiji The protruding body is unglazed; allowing the fire scorched and age ...click for details

The image is based on the kabuki theatre's depiction of the Soga Brothers' Revenge, specifically the famous scene depicted here of the younger, more impetuous brother, Soga Goro, sharpening a double-tipped arrow giving one version its name, The Arrow Sharpener. It is a play still performed today, but was first performed, by the actor Ichikawa Danjuro II in 1729. This screen shows that ...click for details
