拍品描述
A LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF THE YOUNG PRINCE SHOTOKU TAISHI, MUROMACHI PERIODJapan, 15th-16th century, Muromachi period (1333-1573)The figure stands in typical pose, with his palms together in front of his chest, standing on the ends of his red court-style hakama, the oval face with rounded features, the eyes with black pupils and the lips painted in red, flanked by pendulous earlobes, the skin lacquered in an appealing dark silver tone. HEIGHT 43.3 cmCondition: Good condition and presenting very well. Some typical flaking to the applied gesso, the section of the back end of the hakama repaired, few natural age cracks and general expected wear.Provenance: From the collection of Dr. Glenn and Carol Webb. Dr. Glenn Webb (d. 2024) was a distinguished scholar of Japanese art history, culture, and Buddhism. He earned his M.A., M.F.A., and Ph.D. in East Asian Art History at the University of Chicago. Mentored by Dr. Daisetsu Suzuki, he became an ordained Rinzai Zen priest and an accredited Urasenke chanoyu (tea ceremony) instructor. Webb taught at the University of Washington, co-directed the Center for Asian Arts, and founded the Seattle Zen Center. He later joined Pepperdine University, where he developed the Asian Studies program and founded the Institute for the Study of Asian Cultures. His contributions to Zen, chanoyu, and U.S.-Japan relations earned him the Order of the Rising Sun in 2011 from Emperor Akihito.Prince Shotoku (574–622), also known as Shotoku Taishi, was the nephew of Empress Suiko (554–628), a Japanese historical figure and imperial regent credited with the dissemination of Buddhism in Japan. The figure portrays Shotoku as a toddler at the moment when, according to legend, he turned east, joined his hands in prayer, and chanted the name of the Buddha, resulting in the manifestation of a religious relic.Auction comparison:Compare a closely related wood figure of prince Shotoku at the age of two, dated to the 15th to 16th century, 50.2 cm tall, at Bonhams, Japanese and Korean Art, 23 March 2022, New York, lot 711 (sold for USD 3,187).
