LENGTH 8.4 cm, HEIGHT 10.3 cm

Condition: Very good condition with natural flaws to the material, minor age cracks, and minor typical wear.
Provenance: Ex-collection of Drs. Edmund and Julia Lewis, Chicago, Illinois, United States. Drs. Edmund Jean and Julia Breyer Lewis are renowned experts in nephrology who met professionally and later married in 1997, and have since continued to collect art together, actively seeking the best they could find from the finest dealers in the field. Known for their keen scholarship and high aesthetic standards, for the past three decades Edmund and Julia have focused on collecting lacquer art, painting, and Buddhist sculpture from Japan.

Ogawa Haritsu (1663–1747), also known as Ritsuo, was a pioneering Japanese lacquer artist renowned for his distinctive Ritsuo-style, which revolutionized traditional maki-e techniques. His work blended relief carving, inlays of diverse materials such as metal, ceramic, and mother-of-pearl, and bold polychrome lacquer applications, creating highly textured, almost sculptural surfaces. Inspired by both Chinese and Japanese aesthetics, Haritsu's innovative approach introduced painterly compositions and three-dimensional effects to lacquerware, departing from the delicate, flat designs of earlier periods. His mastery of mixed-media inlays and naturalistic motifs, often depicting birds, flowers, and poetic landscapes, set a new standard in Edo-period lacquer art, influencing generations of artisans.
