The table rises from a rectangular base on curving legs to a diaper of pierced scrollwork. From there it reaches a plateau upon which rests the black lacquered table top lacquered with vine-work and featuring ornate scrolling ends. But the most unusual feature of this altar is the multilevel scene of wandering priests in a landscape of blossoming ...click for details

A carved wooden image of the emaciated Buddha seated in contemplation on a colored stone before a gold hoya. Lost in contemplation over the sadness in the world, he sits under the tree, head covered in snails that have crawled up to shade him. He is the embodiment of self denial. The image is 13 inches (33 c) tall including the base, the figure itself 7-1/2 inches (19 cm) tall. The image is unusual but consistent in style wtih the later Edo aesthetic.

Gray ink fades into the dark paper ground of this 17th century Buddhist Mandala style scroll signed Jukai Kyoshi Hitsu (written by Master Jukai). The enigmatic figures are brushed in a bold posture with speed and confidence, the cycle of constant brush dipping allowing a steadily repeating pattern of dry and wet strokes which somehow calls to light the cycle of life and all that entails in Buddhist doctrine. Quite angular at moments as the characters cant this way and that down the page, it is ...click for details
