? MIYAO: A FINE PARCEL-GILT BRONZE OKIMONO OF A TSUBA MAKER

By the Miyao company of Yokohama, signed Miyao ko
Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Finely cast, the elderly master is depicted seated beside a tree stump atop a separately crafted wooden pedestal, shaped as a traditional low table adorned with intricately worked gold-lacquered karakusa. The craftsman is shown carefully decorating a mokko-gatta tsuba using a small hammer and chisel, while two additional tsuba await further embellishment at his feet. The master’s robes are decorated with gilt paulownia and chrysanthemum family crests, with intricately incised scrolling tendrils adding to the fine detail of his attire. Signed on the reverse within a gilt cartouche MIYAO ko.

HEIGHT 17.7 cm
WIDTH of stand 16 cm
WEIGHT 2 kg

Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear and inherent casting irregularities. The wood stand with natural age cracks, expected flaking to lacquer, and few minute losses. Losses to the screws securing the figure to the pedestal.

Founded by Miyao Eisuke, the Miyao Company of Yokohama specialized in the manufacture of bronze sculptures, embellished with gold and silver as well as patinated copper alloys, that represent generic samurai warriors as well as more precisely identifiable characters from Japanese myth and legend. In addition, the company also made a smaller number of pieces in other formats such as incense-burners, vases, and chargers.

Auction comparison:
Compare a related bronze okimono of a tsuba maker, though lacking the parcel-gilt details and refinement of the present piece, signed Miyao, 19 cm high, at Christie’s, Japanese Art and Design Including Lacquer and Works of Art, London, 12 November 2003, lot 216 (sold for GBP 3,704 or approx. EUR 7,800 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).



13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer's premium - only for buyers within the EU.
