Magnificent bold brush work. Framed in copper green patterned brocade with dark wood rollers. The scroll measures 20 x 65 inches (51 x 165 cm).
Little is known about Itten Tokai other than that he was a Soto Zen priest who lived in distant Hokkaido. His Daruma paintings are wonderfully expressive, however, some of the finest examples of the 19th-20th century. As is often the case with Soto Zen artists, who tended to live quietly in remote areas--beginning with Fugai and Ryokan, and down to the ...click for details

An Edo period sumi-e painting stamped Shundo-no-in on very rough silk depicting Daruma heir Kensu Osho, an eccentric Chinese beggar-monk who lived on shrimp and clams. The painting is certainly no less eccentric than its subject, unique among paintings I have seen from the Edo era. It retains the original faded border of dragon dials and lucky symbols extended with beige and features bone rollers. The scroll measures 14 1/2 x 56 inches (37 x 142 cm) and is in original condition, with some wea ...click for details

A large and unusual Raku hand warmer (Shuro) in the shape of a monkey Charm (sarubobo) by representative Kyoto artist Kiyomizu Rokube IV (Rokuko, 1847-1920) dating circa 1920 enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The Sarubobo is a Mingei Monkey Charm from the Gifu area, here recreated in the low-fired Raku pottery tradition of Kyoto and seated on the original silk pillow. The walls of this unusual piece of Raku ware are more than 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick, making it quite sturdy. It is rou ...click for details

A ghostly figure moves silently across the gilded silver stage on this two panel screen signed Kosetsu and dated simply Summer, Taisho era. It is Likely to date from the first year of Taisho, perhaps even commemorating some Noh event which was held in honor of the ascension of the new Emperor, therefore no following number is given in the date.
Pigment on applied silver in a black lacquer frame, with slight oxidation adding a sense of drama to the scene. The screen measures 73 x 68 inches ( ...click for details
