In combination the figures which adorn the sides illustrate the famous story of the “Three Laughing Men at Tiger Brook,” a Buddhist tale from 5th century China, involving the monk Huiyuan and his Konfucian and Daoist companions. The figures are set in a stylized landscape with prunus, pine trees and flowers. Inlays in hard wood, agate, mother of pearl, coral, antler, turtle shell, jade etc. Lacquer parts in taka- and hiramaki-e. Inlaid plaques w. Shibayama and Yasuyuki marks in red (tsuishu seals). Fitted stands in dark hardwood. Japan, Meiji, late 19th cent. H 24.5 cm. CONDITION: Excellent. Very few, minor losses to inlays (see last photo). Additional photos can be provided on request. | |||||||||||||||
