Sold, Thank you! 

An exquisitely formed sometsuke porcelain by important Seto porcelain artist Kawamoto Rekitei (1894-1975) with raised patterns of grapes forming on the vine. The delicate shades of the steadily browning grape leaves is easily conveyed by the masters touch, each leaf carefully bordered in a raised border, the dark grapes slowly growing plump in the shadows. The vase is 9 inches (23 cm) tall, over 7 inches (18 cm) diameter. Rekitei was born in Aichi prefecture, home of Seto-yaki and a long stan ...click for details

Travelers wander through a chimerical lake-side landscape of fantastic rock formations dotted with temples; one of a pair of full sized Edo period Kano screens, gold dust and ink on paper, in excellent restored condition. Powdered gold has been lightly rubbed into the surface, burnished, subtly enhancing the scene without the audacity of overt gold foil. Likely an image of the Western Lake genre of Chinese lore, all is deftly brushed in soft tones befitting the early/mid Edo period. The scene ...click for details

Travelers wander through a blanketed lake-side landscape of hills and low mountains, a village sheltered in the lee of a bold rock formation; One fellow stokes his hearth, red flame glowing softly in the open room promising warmth and shelter. The scene is quiet, one can almost hear the muted sigh of snow on the overburdened bamboo. A dog perks up to the approaching sound of a mule as he sluffs through the drifts. All else lies silent awaiting the thaw of Spring. This is one of a pair of ful ...click for details

A four line inscription shades the bald pate of a sullen Daruma figure by Itten Tokai, the powerful sweep of a brush clothing him in dark ink. The peevish figure is soft against the grayed paper, reminiscent of much older Daruma imagery. It is bordered in copper green patterned brocade in the popular Mincho style of the Meiji era. The scroll measures 20 x 65 inches (51 x 165 cm) and in fine condition. Little is recorded about the recluse Itten Tokai other than he was a Soto Zen priest holed ...click for details

The dark ink strokes seem to accelerate as they descend, creating a vivacious tone with the four character inscription speeding up as well, the characters moving from easily recognizable straight script to cursive. The paper canvas is bordered in fresh green patterned silk extended with lavender and features unusual ne ...click for details
