SHIOKAWA BUNRIN: FIREFLIES AT NIGHTBy Shiokawa Bunrin (1808-1877), signed Kachiku rojin Shio Bunrin with seals Bunin and ShionJapan, circa 1870sInk and watercolors on silk. Superbly mounted as a hanging scroll within a fine silk brocade frame, decorated with auspicious symbols, and wood jikusaki (roller ends). Finely painted with fireflies with their abdomens characteristically illuminated as they fly in the pitch-black darkness, above tall grasses and a meandering river.Inscriptions: To the bottom left, signed Kachiku rojin Shio Bunrin with seals Bunin and Shion.Image SIZE 94.5 x 30 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 170 x 32 cmWith a wood tomobako (storage box).Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and minuscule stains.Provenance: Gregg Baker Gallery, London. Gregg Baker Gallery was established in 1985 specializing on Japanese art including antique Japanese screens, early Buddhist sculpture and classical works of art. They hold regular exhibitions at the gallery and participate in several international art fairs including TEFAF Maastricht, Printemps Asiatique, Civilisations etc.Shiokawa Bunrin (1808-1877) was a Kyoto artist who studied with Okamoto Toyohuko and became a central figure of the Shijo school. He worked for the Kyoto aristocracy, notably the Yasui family. Fireflies (“Hotaru”) are a recurring motif in Bunin's work. This subject may have been inspired by chapter 45 (“Iku Hotaru” Fireflies in Flight) of the Ise Monogatari, where a man has just learned that the woman who loved him has died without confessing her love.Museum comparison:For a large-scale version of this subject by Bunrin, see a pair of six-panel folding screens in the Nelson-Atkins Museum, 74-12/1 and 74-12/2. Painted in 1874, at the very beginning of the Meiji era, the screens are celebrated for their daringly innovative fusion of elements from different pictorial traditions, a quality also abundantly apparent in the present scroll. Compare a closely related scroll depicting fireflies over a river by the same artist, circa 1860-1877, in the British Museum, registration number 1980,0728,0.4.Auction comparison:Compare a closely related painting of fireflies at night, by Shiokawa Bunrin, dated circa 1870s, at Bonhams, The Ethereal Brush: Important Japanese Paintings from a London Collection, 10 November 2016, London, lot 128 (sold for GBP 4,000).
