This is a stone statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, believed to have been created on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture during the Edo period. On Sado Island, there is a small Jizo hall known as “Nashinoki Jizo,” where numerous stone Buddha statues dedicated by local people since the Edo period are still enshrined today. The sight of these statues, densely covering the ground, conveys the everyday prayers of the people of that time—their heartfelt wishes for children’s growth, recovery from illness, and protection in daily life. Against this background, Jizo worship on Sado Island is closely connected to the concept of “Migawari Jizo,” or substitute Jizo. This belief holds that Jizo takes upon itself the misfortunes and suffering that would otherwise befall people. It was a common practice for people to dedicate Jizo statues...

The front panel is fully covered with iron sheets that have been nailed down, and a warm patina has developed on the black rust. The surface is partly rough with red rust.

This is a primitive chair of the Naga people. Quiet in its stance yet commanding in presence, it is a remarkably compelling piece that combines the strength of a sculptural work with the simplicity of folk furniture. It is believed to date from the early 20th century. Over many decades, the wood has taken on a deeply smoked tone, transforming into a rich dark brown surface that seems to embody time itself. Countless blade marks remain visible across the surface, and the worn patina softly reflects light. More than a piece of furniture, it stands as an art object capable of anchoring an entire space. The Naga people are a collective term for indigenous tribes living in the mountainous regions spanning present-day Northeast India and Myanmar. With their own distinct culture and spirituality, they developed powerful forms of craftsmanship, including wood carving and weaving. Born from a life lived in close relationship with nature, their creations value symbolism and function over decoration, resulting in a profoundly primal beauty. Naga chairs...

Signed Unkoku Toyu (1660-1716) Flowers & Birds of Winter and Early Spring A Six-panel Japanese Screen. Ink, color and gold leaf on paper. This later 17th century Japanese screen is signed Unkoku Tōyū (1660–1716), a leading figure of the Unkoku school in the early Edo period. Tōyū was the eldest son of Unkoku Tōji, and he carried forward a lineage that deliberately anchored itself in the authority of Sesshū Tōyō. The mood of the scene is observational and seasonal, not emblematic of power as were many screens from the more wide-spread Kano school. The composition is unified by wind and atmosphere. Everything — bamboo, plum, reeds, water, birds — participates in a single directional force moving from left to right. Unlike certain later screens that flatten elements across the surface, this composition preserves a sense of depth. Yet the recession is moderated by gold clouds and frontal placement of forms. The result is a balanced tension between depth and surface. The compositional structure — with its expansive sweep across the panels — reflects the decorative ambition of Momoyama screen...
