A RARE GOLD LACQUER KOGO AND COVER WITH FISHING NETS AND PLOVERS (CHIDORI)

Japan, late 16th-17th century, Momoyama (1573-1615) to early Edo period (1615-1868)

Of circular form, bearing a rich nashiji ground, the overhanging cover finely decorated in gold and black takamaki-e with black kirikane and gold hiramaki-e to depict fishing nets raised along the rocky shore with plovers flying above, a few birds also painted to the sides of the box, the base and interior of nashiji with gold fundame edges.

DIAMETER 8.7 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, two small chips with old repairs to the rim, few tiny dents, nicks, and light scratches mostly to the interior and base.
Provenance: Galerie Souquet, Paris, France, 15 March 1952. Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker, acquired from the above. Old labels to base and interior. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France’s post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven’s museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privébezit (‘Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven’), and in 1967 they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen (‘Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections’).

Chidori, literally “a thousand birds,” are sandy, grayish brown birds with white underparts, long legs and relatively short bills found throughout most of the world. In Japanese poetry, the focus is on their songs, or voices—in this case, soft, high-pitched vocalizations. In art, the plover might appear on a woman’s garment or a lacquer inro against a background of fishing nets or paired with jakago.
