YOSHITOMO: AN IVORY MANJU NETSUKE OF OTA DOKANBy Yoshitomo, signed YoshitomoJapan, c. 1860-1880Published: Atchley, Virginia / Davey, Neil (2006) The Virginia Atchley Collection of Japanese Miniature Arts, p. 151, no. N160.Of circular form, the thick manju netsuke finely carved in shishiaibori and painted in sumi, one side depicting the military commander, Ota Dokan, standing and clutching a bow to his side and about to don his jingasa, a quiver strapped to his back, the reverse with a young woman kneeling on the ground and extending him a sprig of yamabuki (yellow wild rose) as she respectfully bows, their garments decorated with foliate motifs. The cord attachment through the eyelet peg housed inside the central himotoshi. Signed to the back YOSHITOMO.DIAMETER 5 cmCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and tiny surface scratches. Beautiful patina.Provenance: Ex Max Hauter collection. Ex-collection Virginia Atchley, California, USA.The story of Ota Dokan is based on a well- known pun. The hero, caught in a sudden heavy rainstorm, stopped at a farmhouse and asked a country girl for a raincoat (mino). She withdrew briefly and returned, offering him a spray of yellow roses (yamabuki) on a fan. Infuriated, Ota Dokan rushed away and only later did he remember the well-known poem and marvelled at the girl's knowledge and subtleness. The poem is of Japanese love and translates, "Though the yamabuki has many petals, I grieve that it has no seed (mino)," implying she had no raincoat to spare.Trade Certificate: The trade certificate for the sale of this lot within the EU has been granted (permit number 22NL305849/20).

A POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF BASARA TAISHO (DOG GENERAL), LATE MUROMACHI TO EDOJapan, 16th-17th century, late Muromachi period (1336-1573) to early Edo period (1615-1868)Finely carved and painted in polychrome pigments, the heavenly general standing in a fierce battle pose atop a wood base with his right hand raised above his head holding what was once a vajra, his left hand reaching towards his knees. His blue face is set with a grizzly expression, baring his teeth, his wild eyes made of black and gold lacquer on ivory painted red in the corners beneath a transparent rock crystal inlay. He wears a tiger skin cloth and heavy armor painted in elaborate colors with fine details to the hems, depicting dharma wheels and foliate designs, his hair pulled into a tight topknot, flying upwards, with a dog's head protruding from the top. HEIGHT 60.9 cmCondition: Wear, some chips, expected age cracks, extensive flaking to pigments, losses, and possible old repairs.Provenance: From a private collection in Vienna, Austria.The Twelve Heavenly Generals, also known as Juni Shinsho, are the protective deities of Yakushi (Bhaisajyaguru in Sanskrit) and his followers; Bhaisjyaguru is the buddha of healing and medicine in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Each of the Twelve Divine Generals embodies a vow taken by Yakushi to heal ailments of the body and mind. Responsible for protecting the faithful and vanquishing the enemies of Buddhism, they are depicted with ferocious countenances, wearing armor, and standing in fighting poses. In ancient times they became associated with the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac and were often the subject of sculptures during the Heian and Kamakura periods. It is believed that sculptures of the Heavenly Generals were enshrined in temples, since several in the Tokyo National Museum are believed to be from the Joruri-ji temple of the school of Pure Land Buddhism in Kizugawa, Kyoto prefecture. Many of these sculptures were votive offerings made by a nobleman, and many sculptors of these figures belonged to the famous Kei school of Buddhist sculpture that emerged in the early Kamakura period.Museum comparison:Compare an earlier wood statue of Basara Taisho striking a similar pose and holding his vajra, dated to the Kamakura period, in the collection of the National Tokyo Museum.
