Goma speckles and ash cover the top of this beautiful rolled lotus leaf dish dating from the later Edo (19th c.) enclosed in an old wooden box. The veins of the leaf stand out prominently on the back and underside. The bottom also shows charring and heat scorching in sharp contrast to the thick deposit of ash glaze on the top. The dish is 30 x 19.5 x 6 cm (12 x 8 x 2-1/2 inches). There are 2 old repairs to the edges, otherwise is in fine condition.

Ducks snuggled into their warm down, blotches of color as if seen through the water washed glass of a window by Hirafuku Hyakusui. Watercolor on satin in a fine brocade mounting with gold rippled pattern extended in patterned beige and featuring ivory rollers. It comes in a box annotated by Hirafuku Ichiro. The scroll is 48.5 x 204 cm and is in fine condition but for faint foxing in the lower extremities. A very unusual work by this varied artist.
Hirafuku Hyakusui (1877-1933) was born ...click for details

Dragons are not my usual forte; however this one blew me away when I saw it, mounted on a dilapidated frame. Edo period, ink on paper, we have had it completely remounted in black lacquer frame with sturdy blue cloth backing. The remnants of the white gofun which once highlighted his eyes glows hauntingly in the fierce dark sky. The screen is 65.5 x 59 inches (166 x 149.5 cm) and in excellent condition.

Manjirushi, symbols of infinity, decorate the dark outside while the Buddhist triad reside resplendent in gold within this fine lacquer box dating from the later Edo period enclosed in a quality kiri-wood box. The enigmatic symbols are formed of lead, mother of pearl, applied silver and gold lacquer. Of course when viewing such a box one must toss aside pre-concieved notions of the bastardization of the symbol, and remember it is one of the oldest and most prolific symbols of Buddhism througho ...click for details
