A hanging scroll, ink and mineral pigments and gilt on silk. This painting depicts the Empress Jingo catching a fish without bait, portending a successful invasion of Korea. Towards the end of the Togagawa era there was alot of dissent, and the movement for the "restoration" of the Emperor was threatening the shoganate. Ukita Ikkei (1795-1859)was a loyalist and as a leading member of the revived Imperial court yamoto-e painting tradition, expresses his dissention via this painting honoring the mythology of the Imperial court. It subtly invokes an image of the popular Ebisu and Daikoku, but his politics were not camouflaged enough and he was arrested and imprisoned then died soon after his release. Overall size 61.75" h x 20.75" w (220cm x 52.7cm), Image size 34.25" x 13.75" (87cm x 35cm)

It is wood with color pigments and gold gilding. In overall excellent condition with very minor damage. It is 14"(35.5cm) high, 10"(25.5cm)wide, and 5"(12.8cm)deep. 19th century or earlier.

This wonderful soapstone figure carving of a seated luohan picking his ear is of the highest quality and most probably from the late seventeenth century, though may be from the very early eighteenth century. The satisfied look on the luohans face is exceptional, the detail is exquisite, look at the incised floral work on the robes border, also the back of the robe is incised with a large medallion of a swirling dragon in clouds. Incised phoenixes on either side of lower back robe. Also notice the two inlaid pearls. Matched with a contemporary (L.17th c.)base of the same high quality. A small section of the the robe, overlapping the base on the right, had been broken and reattached, otherwise it is in great condition.
4 3/8th"(11cm) I am sorry the photos do not show the detail work very well.Contact me for more info and or pictures.
