Porcelain Figurine Gold Green by Contemporary Japanese Master Artist

About the Item

Unique porcelain figurine of Prince Lanling, hero-warrior of 6th century, China. This intricately detailed figurine is the creation of widely respected master porcelain artist of the Kutani region of Japan. Faithfully recreating the flowing folds of the warrior’s garb, this work features the bold five traditional colors of Japan’s Kutani ware accentuated by an ample application of gold. It is said that Prince Lanling, known for his peerlessly handsome looks, went into battle wearing a ferocious mask and dragon-topped helmet lest his soldiers awestruck by his beauty lay down their arms. The warrior’s greatest victory was passed down to posterity in a dance entitled “Prince Lanling in Battle.” Long-lost in China, the dance lives on in Japan in the repertoire of Japan’s ancient imperial court music (gagaku). This exquisite porcelain figurine comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: H 14 in W 7 in D 5 in

Large Contemporary Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture Mimura Chikuho
By Mimura Chikuho
Located in Atlanta, GA
A contemporary hand-woven bamboo sculpture in an organic form by Japanese bamboo artist Mimura Chikuho (1973-). Named "Cloud on the Peak", the piece was made as one of his series in 2004. Entirely hand-woven in irregular plaiting, the artist challenged the traditional bamboo basket making and elevated it into modern abstract sculpture. The minimalist donut form resembles the hat-shaped cloud formed around the peak of the mountain (often seen on Fujisan in Japanese art). It displays a wonderful subtle undulation and irregularity in its organic shape, achieved by a mastery of the traditional technique. The irregular plaiting appears chaotic in its busy crossing patterns yet as a whole, the piece strangely quiet and introverted, demanding contemplation from the viewer. Signed "Chikuho" underneath in Kanji. The piece comes with its original storage paper box and a silk bag. Provenance: Purchased from Tai Gallery/Textile Arts now (Tai Modern) in Santa Fe. Mimura Chikuho was born in 1973 in Tokyo. He studied under Yufu Shohaku...

Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture by Honda Syoryu
By Honda Shoryu
Located in Atlanta, GA
Entitled "Rhythm", this abstract sculpture was made by Japanese bamboo artist Honda Syoryu (Japanese, born 1951) in 2005. The free vertical form defies the limit of the traditional material bamboo as a rigid medium, and instead displays a nearly impossibly fluidity. Rooted in ages of tradition of Japanese basket weaving, the artist managed to break that ikebana tradition using bending and twisting techniques to create a pure sculptural work. The work is a testament of how traditional craft can be reinvented into modern art form. Signed with carved signature "Syoryu" underneath. The sculpture is displayed on a custom-made stand and can be appreciated from all angles. It comes with its original box and cloth, with label and Japanese inscription as shown. Provenance: Purchased in 2005 from Tai Modern...
