Japanese Nio Buddhist Temple Guardian Masks in Carved lacquered Wood
Located in New York, NY
Japanese pair of Nio Buddhist temple guardian masks in finely carved and lacquered cypress wood, with signed labels on the inside, early 20th century, circa 1920.
A pair of protectors, one on either side of the entrance to the temple, the Nio are diverse in style, but each of them with their bare-chested bodies rippling with muscles, fierce visages, and brandishing weapons, seem violent and threatening. The Nio were originally Hindu gods in India, who were adopted by the Japanese into the Buddhist pantheon. This pair of masks...

Japanese Kyoto Ware Vase Attributed to Ninsei
Located in Atlanta, GA
An elegant vase made in Kyoto, Japan, circa 1920s. With a graceful elongated Mei-Ping form, it was likely used as a flower holder during the tea ceremony. The stoneware body has an incised and raised design of Irises in an over glazed indigo blue, an subject matter and composition found in the contemporary paintings and screens, cherished by the literati of the Kyoto society.
The vase has a white glazed background sprinkled with dust for a rustic effect. The blue glaze displays some burst of bubbles upon close inspection, suggesting its age. Under the base, there is a small impressed mark of Ninsei (born Nonomura Seisuke) a famous potter from the 17th century, who was considered the founder the Kyoto ware...

Japanese Painting, Framed Panel, Dahlias and Roosters, circa 1920
Located in Kyoto, JP
Tanaka Tessen (b.1890)
Dahlias and Roosters
Taisho period, circa 1920
Framed painting. Mineral pigments and ink on silk.
Dimensions (framed):
H. 159 cm x W. 97 cm x D. 2.5 cm (62.5” x 38” x 1”)
An ornate and complex composition in which the artist explores almost the entire painting surface. The coloration is bold and evocative and the tinted silk ground recreates the warm golden glow of sunset. Soft, luminous brushwork details the black feathers of the roosters, which seem to cloud and blur in counterpoint to the sharper points of the eyes and beaks. Their brilliant red combs balance the composition, echoing the rich burgundy hues of the dahlias; the flowers exquisite and lifelike. Dahlias were an exotic subject favored by painters of the Taisho era.
The painting belongs to the school of Kyoto Nihonga, exemplifying the principles of decorative elegance and consumate brush technique with which it was intimately associated. Painters of the time relied on the Shijo school method, basing the forms of the composition from life sketches. Sometimes they were then integrated with elements derived from Chinese bird and flower...
