The Throne. Eiun was the chief painter for the Izumo-Han (province) daimyo, Lord Matsudaira.

The surrounding silk broccade is quite beautiful although
not original. It has an `awase - bako` box which is old pauwlonia wood. Tiny stain at top left. c.1685. (66" x 18") (167cm x 45cm). Shipping and insurance included in price.
