Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, light surface scratches, minor age cracks.
Provenance: Collection of Drs. Edmund and Julie Lewis, no. 98 (label to base). Bonhams, Property from the Collection of Drs. Edmund and Julie Lewis, Part I, 11 September 2019, lot 562. A private collection in New York, USA, acquired from the above. 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 Japanese 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 Ed and Julie have focused on collecting lacquer art, painting, and Buddhist sculpture from Japan. As they traveled widely their desire to collect Buddhist art grew, and they have expanded their collection to include important Pan-religious sculptures from Greater Asia.

Shitakiri Suzume, translated literally into ‘Tongue-Cut Sparrow’, is a traditional Japanese fable telling of a kind old man, his avaricious wife, and an injured sparrow. The story explores the effects of greed, friendship and jealousy on the characters.
