A set of four individual hand-painted silk scrolls enclosed in a custom Kiri-wood box signed Sanmon-Sato (Town with Three Gates). The vibrant brushwork is relaxed yet approaches the scenery in an unusual manner, lending exuberance to the work. A cow gazing slyly from fallow rice fields opens the set, followed by budding leaves on a willow draping over a seaside village. Summer is as if taken from one of the southernmonst islands, steep crags and palms, and autumn leaves burn in the grounds o ...click for details

Preparing fields, a painting by Oki Toyohira dating c. 1925 enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The landscape is dominated by a red walled hut before blue and brown mountains.

The silk canvas is bordered in green patterned silk and features large ivory rollers. Toyohira (1899-1980) was born in Chiba prefecture, a ...click for details

A minka thatched house lies dwarfed by shadowing trees in this fine ink on paper screen signed from the Snow Pavilion-Kenzan and dated Autumn 1926. The exagerated roof lends a sense of strength and permanance to the human dwelling, despite teh overhanging trees; as if to say We are here to stay! It is bordered in the original faded orange silk in a raw wooden frame, and has been recently freshly backed with forest green paper. The screen measures 65 x 63 inches (165.5 x 160 cm) fully extended ...click for details

The ink on paper scene is bordered in pale green-beige patterned silk with rosewood rollers capped with ivory. The scroll measures 26-1/2 by 52 inches (67 x 132 cm).

Bare trees rise up from mist in this slightly sinister screen by Yasuda Hanpo dated Autumn 1925. An ox stands, symbol of strength and solitude, in the deftly brushed landscape. In the distance birds take to the dark sky. The ink has been allowed to diffuse into the paper creating a mystical aura around the heavy creature. It is performed with ink on paper, mounted on gold with vibrant red lacquer frame. Each panel is 28 x 67-1/2 inches (71 x 172 cm) and is in excellent condition, retaining ...click for details
