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.The inscription on this scroll refers to the kataku (burning house) otherwise known as the Three Carts and the Burning House parable, featured in the Lotus Sutra. The main character in this parable is a wealthy old man who has many children living in an immense mansion. One day his house catches fire and quickly engulfs the whole building while all his children were playing inside, totally absorbed by their game, unaware of the imminent danger approaching. Their father, who was outside the house, tried to warn them to come out at once but to little success; the children showed no understanding of the danger and continued playing. On his second attempt to save his children, the rich man lured them out by promising the three kinds of animal-drawn carts the youngsters had always wanted. He said he had goat, deer and ox-drawn carts waiting for them outside the house to play and that they should hurry out. Hearing this they rushed out and escaped the fire. Nevertheless, once his sons and daughters were outside the father presented each one of them with a cart of identical size, quality and greater value than the ones originally promised. They were adorned with fine rare jewels, covered by canopies, lined with carpets and cushions; each carriage was drawn by a handsome and strong white ox attended by an array of servants. Buddha then asks his disciple if this father can be held responsible for lying to his children and not keeping his word, and they both conclude that it is agreeable to use white lies to awaken people and help them attain Buddhahood.Hyakunyo Jiho (1731-1804) was a Buddhist monk born in Omi-cho, Shiga prefecture, and entered the Tendai sect complex on Mount Hiei where he spent most of his adult life before returning to his home at Omi-cho. After his return he built a small temple, an important part of the local community. Hyakunyo often painted for his supporters as a token of his gratitude.
