A pair of Wooden doors dating from the later Meiji to Taisho period of fine clear grained panels hand-painted with butterflies, birds, and floral dials in brilliant color by Maruyama Oyo in red lacquered wooden frames retaining the original brass hardware. They are made for an opening 141.5 x 180 cm (55-3/4 x 71 inches). They are in overall fine condition. These were acquired from a large estate along the Kamiyagawa River in Kyoto’s posh Kinugasa district.
Maruyama Oyo (1868-1923) was the adopted son of Maruyama Obun and became the sixth generation head of the Maruyama School of painting in Kyoto. You will find works by this famous artist in the British Museum and the Brooklyn Museum among others.
