| A sweeping cobalt landscape by Okochi Yako (1893-1957) dominated by a cluster of gnarled trees has been dashed about the circumference of this large vessel by Yamasawa Shoko I. The landscape is punctuated by a Chinese style poem filling the void of a sea followed by the signature Yakojin-ga. Engraved into the base is the signature Dai Nippon Shoko Saku. The vessel is 13 inches (33 cm) tall and in fine condition. Yamasawa Shoko I, was born in Kyoto, and established himself in the Gojo-zaka kiln area, rising quickly to fame for the beauty of his works.
