Meiji Period Golden Dragon Zabuton Covers by Tanaka Rishichi
About the Item
The unique batik zabuton covers are adorned with golden dragons and are believed to have been originally ordered for a temple. The cushion covers were made under the Tanaka Rishichi art resurrection project. He was a highly significant figure in the world of Japanese art, particularly in the realm of traditional textile art and embroidery crafts. Born in 1847 and died in 1902, Tanaka san dedicated his life to the promotion and resurrection of these ancient Japanese art forms.
During the Meiji period in Japan, the political turmoil and wars nearly caused these crafts to be lost. However, Tanaka Rishichi (1847-1902) worked tirelessly to keep them alive by establishing a unique association of Japanese craftsmen and promoting their art and his efforts were successful in revitalizing these traditional crafts that were on the verge of extinction.
Tanaka Rishichi is highly respected and recognized for his contributions in the field of Japanese art. His dedication and passion for these crafts were such that he became the exclusive supplier of textiles to the Imperial House of Meiji.
Through his efforts, the world can now witness the unique beauty and intricacy of ancient Japanese art. Tanaka Rishichi's influence can still be felt today, as his legacy lives on through the traditional textile and embroidery crafts that are still being practiced and celebrated in Japan.
The covers measure 56x112 cm. These covers are a testament to the dedication and skill of these artisans, and are truly unique pieces of art.
