Alternating pages of paintings and calligraphy show the mastery of brush for which Kodojin is known. Elegant running cursive lines and strict crisp characters extol virtues between seasonal imagery. The scene of medaka fish is particularly compelling in its freshness and sense of life while the stark ancient pine is unmistakably Kodojin. The snail in soft color is quite an unusual scene signed with his poetic name Haritsu. The book is covered in sea blue satin with a signed dark blue sleeve ...click for details

A minutely carved image of a bat cirling over a planted pine-bonsai in the light of the moon just showing through the dark clouded sky. The piece is cut from a round of susu-take, bamboo taken from a roof which is stained a rich amber from a century or more of smoke. The light color on top forming the clouds is a natural rope mark where the smoke did not penetrate to the wood (the bamboo would have been secured to the beams with a rope). A fine carving, the bamboo is 7 inches (18 cm) long, 2 ...click for details

A mischevious shojo sprite pads forward with a long dipping scoop over his shoulder, a huge pot behind (likely filled with rice wine as the shojo is very fond of drink). Opposite a long inscription fills the open area. The pottery vessel is deeply carved into the bamboo with the Shojo in relief before it. The piece is 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) tall, roughly -3/4 inches (7 cm) diameter at the base and dated 1901. The bamboo is a rich amber red, lighter in the carved section, with a fixed wooden ba ...click for details

A typical Muromachi style Sansui screen showing scholarly travelers in a ragged landscape of precipitous hills and temples dusted with clouds of gold flake likely dating from the late 16th century. It is bordered in fine antique patterned brocade with a black lacquered frame. The gold mist engulfs the scene, giving life to the unusually large figures, a Muromachi-Momoyama trait. In the area about the travelers’ path, gold has been rubbed into the paper, giving it a soft sheen. The screen mea ...click for details

Bordered in fine antique patterned brocade with a black lacquered frame. The gold mist engulfs the scene, with, giving life to the unusually large figures, a Muromachi-Momoyama trait. A softer line seems to bring us toward the later in this era, a departure from the hard cold lines of earlier works. The scr ...click for details
