Auction comparison:
Compare a related bronze jar depicting the story of Shiba Onko at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 11 May 2010, London, lot 440 (sold for 3,600 GBP).

Shiba Onko (Chian/Sima Qian in Chinese) was a famous statesman and historian of the Han Dynasty. This is an episode linked to his childhood, when it was said that Shiba Onko and his companions were watching fish in a huge jar when one of them fell in but whilst the rest of his playmates ran away shrieking, leaving the child to drown, Shiba Onko used a rock to break the jar to drain out the water and set his companion free. This episode was a popular theme among Edo-period artists as a parable of virtuous behavior.
