A scholar sits alone in a whitewashed hut lost in autumn foliage in this fine landscape by prominent artist Hirai Baisen (1889-1969) enclosed in the original signed wooden box dating circa 1920. The scroll typifies the dreamy Taisho period from which it hales. The wispy character is lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the autumn of his own life as hae gazes at the trees, or perhaps it is the autumn of a hopeful age of democracy which would shortly be brought to an end with the rise of imper ...click for details

The striker is over 12 inches (31 cm) long and in excellent condition. We have had the dried and cracked doeskin professionally replaced ...click for details

The detail is extremely fine and worthy of a Daimyo. It is signed on the base Tadasu and comes in a modern kiri-box . The second is later (likely later Meiji) and bears floral sprays without, a shrimp within ...click for details

A milieu of color decorates the overall burnt red of this fine small Aka-Raku Chawan dating from the early 20th century. Yellow, black, green and olive cloud the hand built walls. Interesting about the glaze is its glassy surface, almost like a clear over-top of the color. From the kilns of Kyoto, it is stamped on the base Yoshinari, and measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) tall, 10.5 cm (4-1/4 inches) diameter and in excellent condition, and comes in a modern wooden box.
