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.

岩間政盧は岩間派の祖である。政盧は浜野直随の門人で二十歳で直の字を使うことを許され直安と名乗り、その後本家で修業し葛龍軒政盧と銘し、晩年は利寿と味墨政随に技量の高さを認められ寿墨とも名乗る。政随流の高彫を得意とし、その技量は優工と称される。 　本作は猛虎の図の小柄だが、まず構図が面白い、空を見上げた虎が表情よく、四分一地を鋤下高堀で猛虎を立体的に表現し見事である。

Introduction of Fuchikashira from Wakeido Title: Botan Shishi Zu Fuchikashira Signature: Hidenaga (kao) Certification: N.B.T.H.K. Hozon Tousougu Dimensions: Fuchi: Height 38mm, Width 22.5mm, Ko height 13.4mm Head: Height 33.8mm, Width 13mm Period: Middle Edo Period School: Omori School 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.
