拍品描述
A SUPERB BRONZE OKIMONO OF A SHOJO, A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THREE METALWORKERS

By Kondo Shoshin, Kato Tatsuo and Hoshino Mitsuyoshi, signed Shoshin saku, Tatsuo, and Mitsuyoshi and kakihan
Japan, c. 1928

Separately cast in three parts and each part signed by its maker. The drunken Shojo, superbly cast and polished, is depicted with a separately cast minogame crawling over its shoulder and looking into a sake saucer (sakazuki) made from suaka (refined copper) incised with a flying crane in kebori and katakiribori. The minogame signed TATSUO (Kato Tatsuo), the sake saucer signed Mitsuyoshi and kakihan (Hoshino Mitsuyoshi) and the Shojo singed underneath SHOSHIN (Kondo Shoshin) and further with an inscription 贈呈 水道部員一同 昭和三年九月一日Zotei suidobuin ichido, Showa san'nen kugatsu tsuitachi [Presented by all the members of the Waterworks Department, 1 September 1928].

HEIGHT 16.5 cm
WEIGHT 2,876 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and some light surface scratches. One of the pegs of the minogame lost.

The present okimono is a rare collaboration between three talented artists. Both Kondo Shoshin and Kato Tatsuo were pupils of Oshima Joun (1858-1940) and Hoshino Mitsuyoshi was a pupil of the sword fittings maker Toyokawa Mitsunaga II (1850-1923).

A Shojo is a Japanese sea spirit with similarities to a ghost but differing from the latter in the fact that Shojo are tangible. It enjoys drinking alcohol, especially sake. Legend has it that workers at breweries in Japan have seen Shojo lurking about after indulging in their products. Both the minogame and cranes are symbols for longevity, furthermore sake is revered by immortals for its immortality-granting powers.

Auction comparison:
