A CERAMIC AND MOTHER-OF-PEARL INLAID LACQUERED KIRI (PAULOWNIA) WOOD CABINET IN THE STYLE OF RITSUOIn the style of Ogawa Haritsu (Ritsuo, 1663-1747), unsignedJapan, 18th-19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)Of rectangular form with red-lacquered borders, the wood ground finely decorated in gold takamaki-e and inlays of ceramic and mother-of-pearl with blossoming flowers and neatly veined leaves, one side with six narrow drawers fitted with metal floral handles, the base of roiro.SIZE 31 x 22.6 x 18.8 cmCondition: Good condition with expected surface wear, nicks, chips, scratches, some inlays with minor cracks and small losses.Provenance: German private collection.Ogawa Haritsu (formerly often referred to outside Japan by his alternative name of Ritsuo) was among the first Japanese lacquer artists to establish an independent reputation outside of the hereditary craft dynasties of Kyoto, Edo, and Kanazawa. Following an early career as a haiku poet, he is thought to have first turned his attention to lacquer design in middle age and soon attracted a wide following thanks to his novel choice of subject matter and pioneering and imaginative use of unusual materials; at some point after 1710 he was hired by Tsugaru Nobuhisa (1669-1747), lord of a domain in northern Japan, for whom he worked until 1731.In lacquer, he introduced a vocabulary of new materials not usually associated with lacquer artists such as glazed ceramic pieces, mother-of-pearl, and lead. Haritsu also mastered the technique of making lacquer surfaces appear to resemble other materials such as bronze, tile, ink sticks, and pottery, a style of decoration which became known as Haritsu saiku.
