? RYUMIN: AN IMPRESSIVE TOKYO SCHOOL IVORY OKIMONO OF SHO-KANNON WITH DRAGON

By Kawai Ryumin, signed Ryumin with seal San
Japan, Tokyo, Meiji period (1868-1912)

Standing on the back of a writhing dragon, the tall Kannon finely carved and ornately adorned with a large necklace suspending lengthy strands of jewels and medallions down to its knees. Clothed in a thin robe flowing in the wind, rippling elegantly along the back, Kannon holding a basket filled with large peony blossoms and wearing a large tiara with a small figure of Amida (Amitabha). The fierce dragon opening its mouth in a roar as it walks, the crashing waves surround it, its whiskers, scales, and horns are finely carved. The base signed RYUMIN within an ornately design frame of two confronting dragons and with a red seal San.

HEIGHT 32.2 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, expected age cracks, restorations to one whisker and one horn and two small restorations to the edge of Kannon's robe near the shoulder.
Provenance: From a private collection in Germany.

Kawai Ryumin was a member of the Ivory Group of the Tokyo Chokokai (Tokyo Carvers' Association) between Meiji 37 and Taisho 4 (1904-1915), his original name was Kawai Masagoro (Shogoro). He was a pupil of Kaneda Kenjiro (1844-1914) who together with Ishikawa Komei (1852-1913) co-founded the Kankokai Craft Company in 1877, and later became the adoptive father of the eldest daughter of the renowned lacquerer Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891). Although he is best known for his ivory carvings, he also commissioned figures in bronze.
