A set of five Meiji period lacquer dishes, the black surface of each uniquely decorated by the best and brightest students of Kono Bairei. Included are Yamamoto Shunkyo, Tsuji Kako, Takeuchi Seiho, Kikuchi Hobun and Taniguchi Kokyo. A beautifully painted lantern-seed pod shows the delicat touch of Shunkyo. Pine cones by Kako show his penchant for abstraction, and the insect on wide green leaves is unmistakably Seiho. Hobuns green leaves and gourd are more detailed, the spinning vines searching for a place to hold, and the playfully depicted deer by Kokyo show a jois de vie that exemplified Kokyo. Each dish is hand painted with lacquer, showing the unique talents of the individual artists. They are roughly 7 inches (18 cm) diameter, and in fine condition. Yamamoto Shunkyo (1871-1933) was a student of Kono Bairei and Mori Kansai, and taught at the Kyoto Municipal School of Art. He was also a member of the Imperial Art Committee and frequent exhibitor at the Bunten. His paintings are included in most important collections. Takeuchi Seiho (1864-1943) will be a subject of any discussion of 20th century Japanese art. He learned painting from the famous Shijo school artist Kono Bairei and traveled to Europe, where he solidified his own unique style. One of the most influential of early 20th century painters, he served as a teacher at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts, a member of the Imperial Art Academy and was a member of the Bunten from its establishment, serving on the selection committee. He is hailed as one of the founders of the modern Kyoto School, and received innumerable awards including the order of Cultural Merit. Tsuji Kako (1870-1931) received great acclaim in his lifetime, being a juror at the Teiten and appointed Director of the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting and was appointed a member of the Imperial Art Academy and is held in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston among many others. Kikuchi Hobun (1862-1918) was a prominent member of Meiji/Taisho painting circles in Kyoto, and served, along with Kako, as a professor at the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting as well as serving as a Juror for the Bunten national Exhibition and is held in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston among others. Taniguchi Kokyo (1864-1915) He was awarded at the Paris Worlds Fair, and like Kako and Hobun, served as a professor at the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting as well as serving as a Juror for the Bunten national Exhibition and is held in the Victoria Albert Museum among many others. |
