The Mountain Sleeps in Twilight, Ink on silk by Murakami Randen, (b. 1900) dated 1923. This is far from the standard Nanga image, with all lines thoroughly washed creating the soft sense of pre-dawn, when outline and shadow seem to blend. The only color pale green and tan drawing our attention to the single man walking toward the collection of simple huts. The painting is set in a field of patterned green brocade; the scroll measuring 18-3/4 by 75-1/2 inches (48 x 192 cm). Murakami, original ...click for details

Rising from a gently sloping crest of Shibuichi, stylized pines in dark Shikin-Shakudo are silhouetted against the jungin silver skyline of this elegant art-nouveau influenced vase signed in a gold cartouche on the base Gikan. It is only upon removing the inner silver sleeve that we realize this mirror smooth piece has been hammer-formed, every tap the artist performed visible within. The vase is just over 6 inches (15.5 cm) tall, 6 inches (16 cm) diameter. There is a shallow pinhead sized di ...click for details
