A bramble of dried bamboo hides one sleeping form, the others strut about oblivious to the frigid winter air. Turgid blue water rolls slowly behind, waves licking at the near shore. A fine example of the mid-Edo aesthetic; the screen is 67-1/2 by 148 inches (172 x 376 cm) and is in excellent condition, recently full ...click for details

A radical Ukiyoe screen depicting the actor Ichikawa Danjuro II in the role of Soga Goro dated 1729. The image is based on the kabuki theatre's depiction of the Soga Brothers' Revenge, specifically the famous scene depicted here of the younger, more impetuous brother, Soga Goro, sharpening a double-tipped arrow giving one version its name, The Arrow Sharpener. It is a play still performed today, but was first performed, by the actor Ichikawa Danjuro II in 1729. This screen shows that ...click for details

Three of the Shichifukujin (Gods of luck) watch children playing with a turtles along the lakeshore on this small six panel screen painting dating from the later Edo period (c. 1820). The screen condition was very poor, and the painting has been removed, and backed for framing. Excellent for framing, the painting measures 50-1/2 by 16-1/2 inches (129 x 42 cm). The painting itself is entirely original, with no restoration or repainting performed.
