About the Item
Signed and in largest scale
Here's a beautiful and unique way to accent your indoor display space with this very unusual treasure from Japan.
This is a superb and attractive solid and finely cast effigy of an elegant horse -in largest scale- , signed underside. This was sourced from a large Japanese collection this past year.
Dimensions: 9 inches high and 7.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches wide
Weight : 4.5 pounds
Quality: Finely cast head, mane, saddle details; adorable curled tail, all in very nice condition with an attractive slight gold gilt patina over handsome hand-painted deep red colors, signed back leg, Sotaro Saegusa
This is the only example of this large scale form in this handsome color combination we have seen from this artist, 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. Saegusas 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. In 1941, his works were selected for the 8th Shin Kozo Exhibition Western Painting Division and the 15th Imperial Exhibition Sculpture Division and he has been invited to take part in the exhibition every year since. He was presented the Chunichi Award in the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition at Nagoya in 1958, at an award in the Nagoya Japanese Art Exhibition in 1987, the Tokyo Governor's Award in the 65th Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for his work "Iku" in 1993, and the Minister of Education Encouragement Award, the 71st Shin Kozo Exhibition Sculpture Division for Still Life in 1999.

History:
Placing stone animals and human figures along spirit paths in front of important tombs can be traced back at least to the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE), some two thousand years ago. In ancient times, stone animals and human figures placed before imperial tombs symbolized royal power and
privilege in addition to decorative functions. Life size “spirit path” stone horse sculptures are known and can be viewed from Ming dynasty tombs including thirteen imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty scattered over an area of forty square kilometers in Changping District to the northwest of Beijing.
