More DescriptionA richly illustrated catalogue of a private collection of Japanese Ceramics, Sculpture, Items of Costume and Furniture, Paintings of Ink and Gold, Gods and Courtesans. Items range from Heian-period wooden sculpture to Muromachi-period Shigaraki ware to Edo-period ink painting and polychrome genre scenes. That said, the majority of objects in the collection dates to the Edo period (1615-1868) and recreates a microcosm of that era's material culture and artistic developments: monochrome painting that reflect a self-consciously expressive style and emulate ink masters such as Sessh? (cat nos. 11-14); genre painting celebrating the period's effervescent urban culture and playful takes on the classics (cat. nos. 9, 19); ukiyo-e/ "floating world pictures" of bijin/"beautiful women" (cat. nos. 17-20); and lacquered storage cases used in rituals and festivals (cat. nos. 3-4).
