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 quintessential Taisho style painting of a boy in a mystical forest of flowers, pigment on silk by Hoson Reisui (b. 1897). The ethereal image seems not so much to be drawn on the silk, but to eminate from it. The boy too seems as if a sprite living in some fantastical reality. There is a minor water streak opposing on the bottom outside of both panels (near the signature) and some loss to the white gofun petals. Each panel is 34 x 59 inches (86.5 x 149.5 cm) and is in overall fine condition ...click for details
