About the Item

Title: Ornate Japanese Sculpture Depicting Mythological and Folkloric Figures – Plate V, Section VIII Description: This intricate lithograph features a Japanese sculpture of extraordinary craftsmanship. The piece portrays a dense array of mythological and folkloric figures intricately carved into a gnarled tree-like structure. Each character is distinct, capturing expressions of action, joy, or contemplation. The composition creates a sense of motion, as the figures appear to climb, sit, or interact within the sculpture's dynamic framework. The sculpture is set atop an ornately carved wooden base that complements the intricate details of the main piece, showcasing traditional Japanese design motifs. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris, this lithograph highlights the skill and artistic expression in 19th-century Japanese art. Condition: Very good, with minimal age-related wear. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris. This lithograph serves as a remarkable representation of Japanese artistic heritage and would be a valuable addition to collections focusing on Asian art or historical decorative arts.

Japanese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddhism Statue from Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
An exceptional and wood statue of Buddhism Guardian Seitaka Doji from Japan circa Edo period (1603-1868), likely the earlier part of 17th century. One of two chief attendants of Fudou Myouou (the other being Kongara Doji), the name of Seitaka Doji is a transliteration of Sanskrit "Cetaka", meaning servant, slave, and he is said to personify expedient action.

Seitaka largely adheres to the iconography of a wrathful youth with fleshy body and face, skin in the color of a red lotus, has his hair tied in five knots, and holds a vajra in his left hand and a vajra-club in his right hand, but the actual artistic representations of him in Japan do...
