His Daruma paintings are wonderfully expressive, however, some of the finest examples of the 19th-20th century.

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

Steam coils about the petit young woman at the public bath, a fine Taisho era painting signed Ikuho. The color blends into the silk, leaving a soft edge enhancing the sense she is being viewed through the steam and heat of the bath. Pigment on silk, mounted later in green patterned cloth extended with grey and featuring wooden rollers. As pictures of nudes were forbidden, Ikuho is likely a pen-name, possibly taken from Ikuho Street in Northern Kyoto city where the artist may have resided. Th ...click for details
