Seltener vierteiliger Stellschirm JAPAN, Muromachi-Periode 138,5 x 245 cm Linker Schirm aus einem Paar. Auf jedem Paneel Portrait eines Priesters aus der Gruppe der Acht Patriarchen der Shingon-Schule, von rechts nach links der 5. Patriarch Zenmui, der 6. Patriarch Ichigyô, der 7. Patriarch Keika, und der 8. Patriarch Kobo Daishi. Auf dem Panel Topfsiegel, das zweite Schriftzeichen nobu. Provenienz: Aus einer bedeutenden süddeutschen Privatsammlung, in den frühen 1960'er-Jahren in München erworben, das abgebildete Foto wird in das Jahr 1967 datiert - Die Gruppe der Acht Patriarchen der Shingon Schule (Shingon hasso) wurde im 9. Jahrhundert kanonisiert. Während die ersten beiden Patriarchen legendär sind, haben die übrigen sechs als real existierenden Priester den esoterischen Shingon-Buddhismus in Ostasien entscheidend geprägt. Unter ihnen ist Kobo Daishi der einzige japanische Priester. Die Folge von Patriarchenbildnissen wird bei shingon-buddhistischen Initiationszeremonien zu je vieren an gegenüberliegenden Wänden der Halle aufgehängt. Anstelle von Hängerollen konnten auch zwei Stellschirme à vier Paneele dienen, die den Anwärtern die Traditionsfolge seiner Religion vor Augen führte. Die Bildhaftmachung von Überlieferungslinien von Lehrer zu Schüler wurde im Buddhismus seit jeher praktiziert. Die Achtergruppe Shingon Hasso ist in der Kunstgeschichte erstmalig belegbar in der Wandmalerei der Pagode des Daigoji bei Kyoto aus dem Jahr 952. In der Heian-Zeit ist dann ihre Darstellung kanonisch und ikonographisch festgelegt und wird seitdem mehr oder weniger unverändert fortgeführt. Die bekanntesten Sets dieser Patriarchenportraits befinden sich in japanischem Tempelbesitz oder bedeutenden japanischen Museen. Alle Dargestellten tragen einfache und immer gleiche Mönchsroben. Identifizierende Attribute sind Gebetsschnur, vajra und Handgestus (mudra). Vor der Sitzbank stehen Schuhe und Wasserkanne. Nur der chinesische Mönch Keika wird zusammen mit einem Akolythen wiedergegen. Die obere Gestaltung des Bildfeldes hingegen variiert bezüglich der namentlichen Identifizierung und den biographischen Angaben zu den Priestern. So gibt es Schriftfelder, die sich über die ganze Bildbreite ziehen, ein einzelnes Schriftfeld jeweils rechts, oder in großen Schriftzeichen geschrieben der jeweilige Name. Bei den vorliegenden Bildnissen sind die Schriftfelder frei geblieben. Buddhistische Malerei und auch solche Patriarchenportraits wurden von anonymen Werkstätten meist arbeitsteilig ausgeführt. Diese Bilder sind nicht signiert, höchstens aus einer rückwärtigen Aufschrift könnte ein Datum oder ein Name hervorgehen. Das im vorliegenden Fall ein Siegel angebracht wurde, ist ungewöhnlich. Siegel in Form eines archaischen chinesischen Bronzegefäßes wurden von den Malern der Kano-Schule und Zen-Mönchen ab dem 16. Jahrhundert verwendet. Das Siegel hier ist atypisch, da es nur ein einziges Paar Henkel gibt und diese am Hals angebracht sind und nicht wie üblich am Korpus oder auf dem Gefäßrand aufsitzen - Kleinere Alterssch. und alte Rest., etwas berieben, auf Stand montiert A RARE FOUR-PANEL SCREEN, Japan, Muromachi period, with a portrait of a Shingon patriarch on each panel, from left to right: the fifth patriarch Zenmui, the sixth patriarch Ichigyô, the seventh patriarch Keika, and the eighth patriarch Kobo Daishi ink and colours on paper, pot seal, the second character reading Nobu The group of the Eight Patriarchs of the Shingon school of Buddhism (Shingon hasso) was canonized in the ninth century. While the first two monks are considered legendary, the following six priests partook an important role in shaping orthodox esoteric Buddhism in the Far East. The eighth patriarch Kobo Daishi, also known as Kukai, is the only Japanese proponent of this school within this group. A set of paintings representing the Shingon hasso was used during initiation ceremonies and displayed on the opposing walls of a temple hall, four on each side. The monks undergoing initiation were thereby presented a visualization of the Shingon lineage of transmission of esoteric Buddhist doctrine. This explains why in this case the screen is four-panelled, while regular screens for interior decoration consist of six panels. In art history the Shingon hasso first appear on the walls of the Daigoji pagoda in the year 952. Their iconography was laid down in the Heian period and was continued through the centuries more or less without changes. The most famous sets belong to Japanese temples and are housed in the national museums of Japan. The priests are represented seated on a dais wearing simple monk's robes. They can be identifying by their age and physiognomy as well as the gestures of their hands (mudra) and their attributes vajra and prayer beads, all in varying combinations. Their shoes and a water bottle are placed before the seating bench. Only the Chinese monk Keika is represented with an acolyte. While these figural representations go unchanged, the manner of conveying the biography of these monks varies. Shikishi papers with a written biography in the upper section of the painting take up either the whole width of the painting or are pasted at the righthand corner. Other sets merely show the name of the priest in large Sanskrit syllables and Chinese characters. These Shingon hasso portraits, as Buddhist paintings in general, were produced in specialised ateliers by anonymous painters who furthermore worked on these images through a division of labour. To find a seal on such paintings is rare. The present seal in shape of an archaic Chinese bronze vessel is of a type used by the Kano school painters and Zen-Buddhist priests - Property from an important South German private collection, bought in the early 1960's in Munich, the illustrated photo can be dated to 1967 - Very minor damages due to age, minor rest., wear, mounted on stand

Feine und extrem seltene Stapeldose aus 'goldenem' Zitan mit Stein-, Silber und Perlmutt CHINA, Zhou Zhu zugeschrieben, Jiajing/Wanli-Periode 12,5x18,6x13,5cm Provenienz: Aus einer alten und bedeutenden europäischen Privatsammlung, laut Aufzeichnungen 1928 in Peking erworben - Deckel mit Altersrissan den Kanten, in eine Seite übergehend, wenige sehr kleine Fehlstellen der Einlagen, wenige Klebespuren an den Kanten A SUPERB AND EXTREMELY RARE SILVER-INLAID AND STONE AND MOTHER-OF-PEARL INSET 'GOLDEN' ZITAN THREE-PART STACKING BOX, attributed to Zhou Zhu, Jiajing/Wanli period - Property from an old and important European private collection, bought according records 1928 in Beijing - This exquisite box belongs to a small group of inlaid containers typically produced in the precious zitan wood, and occasionally in huanghuali. Generally they are of rectangular form and are finished with elegantly rounded covers and sides. It is of exceptional quality with the inlay decoration applied both to the cover and the sides which is rarely seen on other boxes of this type. Only one three-tiered box appears to bear such floral side decoration, illustrated in Zhongguo wenwu jinhua dacidian, Shanghai, 1996, pl. 116 - Property from an old and important European private collection, bought according records 1928 in Beijing - The exceptional workmanship displayed here, especially in the quality of the beautiful inlay suggests that it is by the hand of the Ming master carver Zhou Zhu, famed for his invention of the technique of inlaying a wide variety of precious stones and other materials onto wood and lacquer. What distinguishes Zhou's works from others is his use of a much broader range of material and the complexity of the inlay itself. On the present box, and on others attributed to him, one finds silver, gold, malachite, lacquer, different types of horn, mother-of-pearl and even gilt-bronze, suggesting that he had access to a wide range of crafts and materials within a single workshop. His inlay technique is extremely multifaceted, as he deployed inlay upon inlay and not just setting different material next to each other but creates a three dimensional effect. He also used precious metals such as gold and silver, often creating stunning multi-layer works of art. Later versions, even very fine and complex works from the height of the Qing dynasty, rarely employed such a wide range of complex inlay techniques. Zhou had many talents and also excelled at carving. He is said to have made furniture such as lacquered wood screens, tables, chairs, cupboards and bookcases. He is recorded in the writings of Ming and Qing literati as having worked in Yangzhou in Jiangsu province during the reign of the Jiajing emperor. While his birth date is unknown, the Jiajing period attribution to his work is confirmed by an inlaid box that bears an inscription of a date corresponding to 1537 inscribed in red lacquer on the base, sold at Sotheby's Hongkong, 8th October 2010, lot 2192, richly embellished with an inlay decoration depicting a scene from a Mongolian hunt. Another related cinnabar lacquer box depicting a similar hunt, was also sold at Sotheby's Hongkong in the same sale, lot 2213. The two boxes are undoubtedly the products of the same workshop and possibly made by Zhou himself. It is worth noting that the sides of the lacquer box mentioned above are richly carved with blossoming branches, not dissimilar in style to that seen on this box, suggesting that the idea for the decoration may have derived from carved lacquer vessels - The cover with age cracks to side into one panel, few agecracks and remnants of glue, very minor losses to inlays
