| 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. Fresh green buds dot the willows branching into the scene from below, and the sky is golden with sunset. A masterful painting in the transitioning Taisho-early Showa style. The silk canvas is bordered in green patterned silk and features large ivory rollers. Toyohira (1899-1980) was born in Chiba prefecture, and became a resident of Tokyo, learning painting in his younger years from Araki Kanbo (1831-1916), and his adopted son and successor Araki Toho (1872-1944). He also studied with Ashiya Ryuko (1885-1933), a student of Kogyo, and a great deal of his style is attributed to this influence. Toyohira both exhibited and served as a member of the Teiten National Exhibition. The scroll is in excellent condition but for marks typical of age and a yellow stain in the upper right portion of the sky against the border cloth. | |||||||||
