KISHI GANKU: A SUPERB AND VERY LARGE PAINTING OF A TIGER
Est: €4,000 - €8,000
KISHI GANKU: A SUPERB AND VERY LARGE PAINTING OF A TIGER By Kishi Ganku (1749-1839), signed Echizen no kami Ganku with two seals, Ganku and Fuzen Japan, early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Finely painted with ink and watercolors on silk depicting a ferocious roaring tiger, seated on its haunches as it turns to one side, showing its sharp teeth, its tail raised in the air, the striped fur neatly rendered with needle-like brushstrokes, signed upper left Echizen no kami GANKU [Ganku, honorary governor of Echizen] with two seals, Ganku and Fuzen, both of which are art names of Kishi Ganku. An unusually large and expressive painting by the great tiger painter Kishi Ganku (1749-1839), who was perhaps only rivaled by his contemporary Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795). SIZE 177.5 x 108 cm (total) and 142 x 87.2 cm (image only) Condition: Good condition with some wear, little creasing, minor soiling, few minuscule tears. Provenance: French private collection. With a silk brocade mounting and framed behind glass. The reverse with an old Japanese newspaper clipping, likely from a local newspaper published in Toyama Prefecture, describing Kishi Ganku as a painter famed for depicting the tiger, and a small label reading ‘Kanda Chihoko’, possibly from a previous owner. Kishi Ganku (1749-1839) was a leading Japanese painter of Kyoto and founder of the Kishi school of painting. He is famous for his paintings of tigers. Ganku was born in Kanazawa as Kishi Saeki, studied painting styles including those of Chinese painter Shen Nanpin and the Maruyama-Shijo school, and arrived in Kyoto around 1780. By the late 18th century, Ganku’s paintings were appreciated by patrons that included the imperial family, leading to a position under Prince Arisugawa. His students included his son, Gantai (1782–1865), son-in-law Ganryou (1797–1852), adopted son Renzan (1804–59), Yokoyama Kazan (1784–1837), Shirai Kayou (fl. ca 1840–60), and Kawamura Bumpou (1779–1821). He was made honorary governor of Echizen (Echizen no kami) toward the end of his life. Museum comparison: Compare to a closely related scroll painting of a tiger by Kishi Ganku, measuring 106.7 x 41 cm, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Accession no. 6.100.11. Auction comparison: Compare a related scroll painting of a tiger by Kishi Gantai, a son of Kishi Ganku, measuring 84 x 113.7 cm, at Bonhams, Japanese Works of Art, 19 March 2009, New York, lot 308 ( sold for 15,860 USD).

Paint on silk mounted on a brocade boarder Japan, early 19th century Signed by the artist, Kishi Ganku (1749-1839), on the image Depicts Benzaiten with her animal attribute, the dragon, and her biwa lute Beautiful rocky natural background Ornate boarder with floral pattern Image dimensions: 98 cm long x 35 cm wide Good condition Estimate by Auctionata Expert: 800-1,000 USD This beautiful Japanese scroll depicts the goddess Benzaiten. She is the woman of 'The Seven Lucky Gods', known as Shichi Fukujin in Japanese. This group presumably originated in the Muromachi period (1392-1568). Today the custom still exists that an image of the gods should be placed under a pillow on New Year's Day to evoke auspicious dreams. According to legend the lucky gods arrive in town on their ‘treasure ship’ Takarabune on New Year's Day. The ship carries seven intangible treasures including wisdom, knowledge, experience, erudition, bravery, prosperity and longevity as well as happiness and satisfaction. In this scroll, Benzaiten is depicted in all her glory, riding the head of a dragon, her animal attribute, while she plays the biwa lute. This scroll is in overall good condition with minor mold spots, stains on the boarder, and creases. The image is 98 cm long by 35 cm wide.
