Description
The Omori School is a prestigious lineage alongside the Ishiguro and Yanagawa schools within the Yokoya School, founded by Hidechou, who trained under Yokoya Somin, and later flourished under the second generation, Hidenaga.
Hidenaga Omori, the eldest son of Hidehisa Omori, initially took the name Hanjii, later adopting the name Shirobei, and eventually became known as Hidenaga. He passed away before his father, leading his younger brother, Hidemitsu, to inherit the family estate. This resulted in a limited number of his works.
This piece exemplifies the high skill of the Omori School, featuring a high-relief color painting of a peony lion on a red copper ground in the Yokoya style.

Introducing Kozuka from Wakedo Title: Mouko zu Kozuka Signature: Katsuryuken (Iwama Masayoshi) Certification: [N.B.T.H.K.] Hozon Tousougu Size: Length 97.5mm, Width 15mm Period: Late of Edo (AD1764 to 1837) School: Iwama school Description Iwami Masayoshi is the founder of the Iwama school. He was a disciple of Hamano Naosuke and was allowed to use the character 'Nao' at the age of twenty, taking the name Naoyasu. After training at the main house, he signed as Katsuryuken Masayoshi, and in his later years, he adopted the name Juboku in pursuit of the ideal techniques of Riju and Mizume Masazui. He excelled in high carving in the Seizui style, and his skills were praised as exceptional. This work is a kozuka depicting a fierce tiger, notable for its interesting composition. The tiger looks up at the sky with a vivid expression, and the high relief technique used in the background creates a three-dimensional representation of the fierce tiger, which is impressive.

Introduction of Kozuka from Wakeido Title: Plum Tree and Small Bird Design Kozuka Signature: Okina Toshiyoshi sei Certification: N.B.T.H.K. Hozon Tousougu Size: Length 97.5mm Width 14.5mm Period: Last of Edo School: Tōryūsai school Description The Tōryūsai school traces its origins to Tanaka Kiyotoshi. Kiyotoshi was born in Aizu in the first year of the Bunka era and is said to have trained under the Aizu Masamune school in his youth. He honed his skills under the guidance of Kōno Shunmei Hōgen during his visit to the Tōhoku region, completing a clever style known as the Tōryūsai school. Many skilled disciples followed, including Toshiyoshi, who trained numerous students. Toshiyoshi was Kiyotoshi's foremost disciple and a refined successor of the Tōryūsai school. With high-level techniques, he popularized the Tōryūsai style during the late Edo period. This piece features a small bird and plum blossoms in a four-part design, with the trunk and branches of the plum tree having thick areas in high relief while becoming flat towards the end to create a sense of three-dimensionality. It embodies the essence of Tōryūsai and is quite charming.
