An open-worked structure with six roof tiles showing various beast masks, ho-o and shachihoko (dragonfish) supports the large container for incense in the shape of a sho (Buddhist reed instrument) with dragon handles and further decorated in masterful iro-e takazogan as well as shakudo and gold hirazogan with ho-o birds, various instruments and mon-emblems.Each with an incised inscription and signature to the base: Dai Nihon Teikoku Toyama ken Takaoka Shi OHASHI SAN' EMON seizo [Made by Ohashi San'emon, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, Great Imperial Japan].HEIGHT each 49 cmWEIGHT 7,333 g & 7,565 gCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and traces of use.Provenance: Private collection in Massachusetts, Boston.Ohashi San'emon was born in 1851 and died in 1895, his most active period was between 1875-1895 and his contemporary metal artists were Kakuha Kanzaemon IX (Kakuha Zenjiro), Yokoyama Yazaemon II (1845-1903) and Kanamori Soshichi (1821-1892), who were pioneering doki (Japanese bronze ware) based in Takaoka, Etchu Province and Kaga Province, present-day Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures. They made many fine bronze items for domestic and foreign exhibitions and for the oversea markets.The history of casting copper alloys in Takaoka, the provincial capital of Etchu (present day Toyama Prefecture), is reputed to date to the early Edo period, the industry encouraged by the local feudal government as a source of income. Around 1830, new sales venues were developed, extending from Edo city to the northernmost part of the Japanese archipelago, eventually expanding to overseas export markets during the Bakumatsu era.Auction comparison:Compare an inlaid bronze vase by Ohashi Sanzaemon at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 13 September 2017, New York, lot 1059 (sold for 16,250 USD).

A SUPERB PAIR OF MIYAO-STYLE MIXED-METAL-INLAID AND PARCEL-GILT BRONZE VASES WITH SHOKI AND ONIJapan, late 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)Each vase with a baluster body supported on a spreading foot and rising to a gently waisted neck with flat everted rim, the shoulder with two long handles issued from baku heads, the exterior carved in high and sunken (shishiaibori) relief, inlaid in iro-e takazogan and hirazogan, and engraved in katakiri and kebori, with bamboo-framed panels surrounded by two snakes flanking a toad above and a snail below - an impressive example of the sansukumi motif. Each panel shows a different but complementary design, depicting on one vase a proudly standing Shoki holding his sword in one hand and extending the other, with a long-tailed pheasant amid chrysanthemums under a gnarled pine tree to the back; and on the other three oni depicted in different attitudes, one of them fighting back against the demon queller, the back with two long-tailed pheasants perched on a craggy rock. The body is further decorated with bamboo leaves, mushrooms, and leaves, the neck and foot with formalized bands.HEIGHT each 30.5 cmWEIGHT each 4.7 kgCondition: Very good condition with minor surface wear.Provenance: From the private collection of an intrepid and seasoned connoisseur who tirelessly travels the globe and acquires with passion, discernment and above all a sense of all-embracing eclecticism, bound by no rigid formula of what should constitute a worthy object save the admiration and wonder that it can produce in the viewer.The present pair of vases, impressively cast, finely carved in high and sunken relief, and masterfully inlaid in both hirazogan and takazogan, was clearly made by an extremely talented metalworker. The inspired use of inlays makes an attribution to the workshop of Miyao Eisuke reasonable. Although most often associated with large-scale bronze figures of samurai, the Miyao Company also manufactured or dealt in a wide range of craft goods including Shibayama-work panels and ivory figures. Apparently based first in Yokohama and then, after about 1890, in Nihonbashi-ku, Tokyo, the company is first recorded at the second Naikoku Kangyo Hakurankai (National Industrial Exposition) where Miyao Eisuke collaborated with the bronze caster Momose Sozaemon in the production of a bronze figure of seven drunken shojo.The combination of snake, frog, and snail (or slug) constitutes the sansukumi motif. Sansukumi translates to 'the three who are afraid of one another'. The three animals are in a state of mutually assured destruction: the snake will consume the frog, however the frog has already eaten a poisonous snail, so the snake must perish as well. This motif is connected to sansukumi-ken, a category of Japanese hand games played by using three hand gestures. The oldest sansukumi-ken game is mushi-ken, a game originally from China. In mushi-ken, the 'frog' represented by the thumb wins against the 'slug' represented by the pinkie finger, which, in turn defeats the 'snake' represented by the index finger, which wins against the 'frog'. Although this game was imported from China, the Japanese version differs in the animals represented. In adopting the game, the original Chinese characters for centipede or millipede were apparently confused with the characters for the 'slug'. The centipede was chosen because of the Chinese belief that the centipede was capable of killing a snake by climbing and entering its head. One of the few surviving sansukumi-ken games is jan-ken, which was brought to the West in the 20th century as rock paper scissors.

MASATADA: AN IMPERIAL PRESENTATION INLAID BRONZE VASE WITH KIKUMON (CHRYSANTHEMUM SEAL)By Masatada, signed Masatada (Seichu)Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912)Of slender baluster form, supported on a short foot and rising to a tapered neck with incurved rim, finely decorated in shakudo and copper hirazogan with a band of stylized sparrows above a band of formalized floral designs, all above a silver takazogan sixteen-petaled kikumon (Chrysanthemum Seal), the Imperial Seal of Japan. The base with the silver-inlaid signature MASATADA.HEIGHT 27.4 cmWEIGHT 1,486 gCondition: Excellent condition with minor wear and casting irregularities.The Chrysanthemum Seal (kikumon) found on the present vase indicates it was commissioned by the Emperor of Japan or a member of the Imperial Family. The Imperial Seal of Japan or National Seal of Japan, also called the Chrysanthemum Seal (kikumon), Chrysanthemum Flower Seal (kikukamon, kikukamonsho) or Imperial chrysanthemum emblem (kikunogomon) is the crest (mon) used by the Emperor of Japan and members of the Imperial Family. It is one of the national seals of Japan and is used in a manner similar to the national coat of arms of Japan. During the Meiji period, no one was permitted to use the Imperial Seal except the Emperor of Japan, who used a 16-petaled chrysanthemum with sixteen tips of another row of petals showing behind the first row. Therefore, each member of the Imperial family used a slightly modified version of the seal. Shinto shrines either displayed the imperial seal or incorporated elements of the seal into their own tag.
ANDO JUBEI: A SUPERB MORIAGE CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL VASE WITH FRUITING PERSIMMON TREEBy Ando Jubei (1876-1953), signed Ando sei and with the Ando company markJapan, early 20th century, Meiji (1868-1912) to Taisho period (1912-1926)Of baluster-shape, the quatrefoil-lobed very finely worked in silver wire with brightly colored enamels arranged in four panels with bamboo (take), iris (shobu), plum (ume), and chrysanthemum (kiku), masterfully worked in the moriage technique. The mouth and foot rims of silver, stamped jungin (pure silver), and signed to the underside in seal script ANDO sei [made by Ando] and with the Ando company mark.HEIGHT 31.4 cmWEIGHT 2,551 gCondition: Excellent condition. Provenance: From a private collection in Denver, Colorado, USA. With a hand-written note from Shangrila Asia Museum appraising the present piece.Moriage (lit. 'piling-up') is a painstaking technique, which requires extreme care, especially at the polishing stage; it involves the building up of layers of enamel to produce a three-dimensional effect. It was ideally suited to natural subjects such as plants and flowers. The difficulty of the technique coupled with its striking effect has made moriage cloisonné works highly cherished by collectors. Ando Jubei (1876-1953) was a Japanese cloisonné artist from Nagoya. Along with Hayashi Kodenji, he dominated Nagoya's enameling industry in the late Meiji era. Ando, Namikawa Yasuyuki, and Namikawa Sosuke are considered the three artists whose technical innovations brought in the "Golden Age for Japanese cloisonné" in the late 19th century.Ando Jubei was the Meiji era's most prolific creator of presentation wares (artworks that were commissioned by members of the Imperial Family for presentation to foreign dignitaries). He exhibited at the Japan-British Exhibition of 1910.Auction comparison:Compare a related moriage cloisonné vase bearing a similar design of chrysanthemum, bamboo, plum, and iris, also signed Ando sei and with Ando company mark, at Christie's, An Inquiring Mind: American Collecting of Japanese and Korean Art, 22 April 2015, New York, lot 121 (sold for 20,000 USD).

The leaves and fruit are worked with remarkable naturalism showing varying gradients of color simulating the subtle difference of ripeness of fruit and exposure to the sun of the leaves.
