About the Item

The first pair we have seen and in this large scale This enigmatic large scale pair (2) of proud plump roosters remind us of the sights and sounds of an early morning back country experience. Designed by the Japanese legendary mid 20th century designer Sotaro Saegusa and created in his most valuable largest scale, they possess a wonderful original old green and dark plum red hand painted patina. They are both signed on their lower tail/hip area with Sotaro's unmistakable signature mark. We will include the original collector signed boxes, a display sign , one black display base, and artist document. Of the largest scale, these were sourced from a large Japanese collection this past year. Dimension: Largest is 9 inches high and 6.25 inches wide and 3 inches deep; Smaller is 7.5 inches high and 5 inches wide and 2 iinches deep Signed by Japan's award winning sculptor Sotaro Saegusa With finely cast heads, red painted combs, good feather and tail plumes and exuted in an attractive original dark patina. by Sotaro Saegusa- one of Japan's award winning mid century master sculptors. This is the only pair of these iconic large scale forms we have seen from this artist so far, having had the pleasure of handling many of this artists' fine creations. About the artist: Sotaro Saegusa (1911-2006) was born in Aji-cho, Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture. A graduate of the Metallic Engineering Department of Kagawa Prefectural Technical School in 1930 and the Sculpture School of Tokyo School of Fine Arts, Saegusa. Later he worked as a professor at the Nagoya University of Arts until he retired in 1986. Saegusa is a member of the Japan Artists 'Association, Japan Sculptors' Association and Shin Kozo Exhibition Paintings Division. Saegusa' enthusiasm for the arts continues after his retirement. His bronze works display a variety of themes and postures, reflecting traditional Japanese culture with injection of abstract elements. His works are highly revered for their artistic beauty. After his retirement, Saegusa focused on sculptures of animals including lunar animals. Saegusa has won a number of prestigious awards.
