A set of 12 lacquered panels depicting scenes of the 12 months by 12 different and important artists including Living national Treasures Terai Naoji and Komo Kanzan as well as Pioneering female artist Tenno Bundo, all in the original wooden box signed individually by each artist and dated Showa 24 (1949) and stated to have been assembled under Honma Maika. A list of the artists by month follows: January-Katsuta Seisho, (1890-1975), February-Rokkaku Eiyu, March-Living National Treasure Terai Naoji (b. 1912), April-Living National Treasure Komo Kanzan, (b. 1882-1955), May-Murase Shunji (1911-1989) June-Shinmura Senkichi (1907-1983), July-Oguchi Masaji(1907-2000), August-Honma Maika, September-Tenno Bundo (the first female artist in Uwajima), October-Moriya Shotei (1890-1972), November-Yuki Tetsuo (1900-1970), and December-Omura Soho. Each piece is 9-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches (24.5 x 27.5 cm). The work for January has five stress cracks in the lacquer at the top of the panel, all others are in excellent condition. As they are shikishi (display plackard)-size, it is likely they were meant to be changed out of a frame, once every month. A very rare opportunity to own a representation of work from so many important modern lacquer artists.
