YOSHITANI: A MASSIVE AND HIGHLY UNUSUAL BRONZE JARDINIèRE DEPICTING A NEST OF RATS

By Yoshitani, signed Dai Nihon Yoshitani sei and isho toroku juken
Japan, late 19th-early 20th century, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Heavily cast as a pile of large rats with neatly incised long-haired fur and long tails, the animals further detailed with bulging eyes, deeply incised whiskers, and round ears, the base pierced with six holes. With an associated, finely carved and fitted wood stand supported on five elegantly curved legs with scroll-form feet. With two seal marks underneath reading Dai Nihon YOSHITANI sei [made by Yoshitani in Great Japan] and isho toroku juken [registered holder of patented designs]. The artists's name 美谷 can be pronounced Mitani, Bikoku, and Yoshitani, which literally means “Beautiful Valley”.

WIDTH 37 cm, HEIGHT 38 cm (incl. stand)
WEIGHT 10.2 kg (excl. stand)

Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear.
Provenance: Zacke, Fine Japanese Art, 2 December 2022, Vienna, lot 58 (sold for EUR 7,280). A private collection, acquired from the above.

In Japan, rats do not have the negative connotations they sometimes do in the Western world. The rat was the first animal to arrive at the New Year’s greeting and so is the first of the Zodiac animals; it represents prosperity of descendants and social success.
