Poppies & Butterflies Ink, pigment and gofun on silk Igarashi Chikusa (1774-1844) Signature: Chikusa Ran Zen Upper Seal: Ran Shuzen Lower Seal: Kyoho Dimensions: Scroll: H. 68” x W. 18” (172cm x 45cm) Image: H. 38.5’’ x W. 12.5’’ (98cm x 32cm) This composition shows elegant images of poppies and the butterflies that are inevitably drawn to them. It captures a momentary glimpse into a world both visually dazzling and startlingly realistic. The painting is infused with sensitivity and attention to seasonal change and weather conditions. The thin and fragile poppies are beautifully depicted with brilliant colors and the butterflies are similarly infused with life. The painting is on silk which requires extremely precise painting skills as no element once painted can be removed. Poppies were a favorite subject of Rinpa school artists through the ages. Originally they were somewhat abstracted but by the age of Sakai Hoitsu...

This outstanding 18th-century warrior doll represents the finest tradition of Japanese Musha Ningyō artistry. These ceremonial warrior figures were traditionally displayed during Tango no Sekku (Boys’ Day Festival), symbolizing bravery, protection, strength, and the noble virtues of the samurai class. The figure features a beautifully carved wooden head finished with fine white gofun — a traditional Japanese technique using layers of refined shell pigment to achieve a smooth, luminous surface. The powerful facial expression, sharply painted eyes, and commanding presence reflect the exceptional craftsmanship of Edo Period doll makers. The warrior is presented seated on a traditional military camp stool and dressed in elaborate samurai armor with intricate metal fittings, lacquered elements, and richly detailed decoration. The impressive helmet features a dramatic crescent moon crest with a dragon ornament, symbols historically associated with power, courage, and protection. The figure retains its original saihai battle command baton, carried by samurai leaders to direct troops. The costume is composed of luxurious silk brocade textiles with beautifully patterned robes, detailed armor plates, and faux fur boots...
