MYOCHIN SCHOOLAn Iron Kusshin Jizai (Fully Articulated) Okimono (Table Ornament) Model of a Pheasant Meiji era (1868-1912), late 19th/early 20th centuryRealistically rendered, life-size, constructed of extremely smoothly moving parts, the head can be turned 180 degrees, while the neck, tail and wings can be shortened or stretched out at will as implied by the term kusshin ('bending and stretching'), the eyes inlaid in gilt, signed beneath the tail Kozan with a kao on an added signature plaque. 20cm x 75cm (7 7/8in x 29½in).Footnotes:Provenance: A European private collection.Of all the categories of Edo-period artefacts eagerly collected outside Japan for the last century and a half, articulated animals and birds have left the least trace of documentary evidence concerning their origin and development. Even the Japanese word for them, jizai or jizai okimono, appears to be a post-Edo term. However despite the obscurity of their origins, these displays of Oriental dexterity perfectly matched a trend in Western taste in the last quarter of the nineteeth century. They were first highlighted in Le Japon Artistique of 1881 which reproduces in three different positions, and describes in detail, an articulated frog. Surprisingly, it seems that jizai okimono were not brought fully to the attention of Japanese audiences until October 1983, when several examples were displayed in the special exhibition Japanese Metalwork held at Tokyo National Museum.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
