SOGA SHOHAKU (1730-1781): AN IMPORTANT SET OF FIVE SCROLL PAINTINGS WITH BIRDS OF PREY
Est: €15,000 - €30,000
SOGA SHOHAKU (1730-1781): AN IMPORTANT SET OF FIVE SCROLL PAINTINGS WITH BIRDS OF PREY Japan, 18th century. Ink on paper. Mounted as hanging scrolls, on paper, with wooden handles. The set of five paintings depicts finely detailed birds of prey perched high in the treetops, looking down over varying landscapes. (5) Inscriptions: Three paintings bear the seals ‘Joki’ 如鬼 and ‘Jasokuken Shohaku’ 蛇足軒蕭白. Two paintings are sealed ‘Joki’ 如鬼 and ‘Shohaku’ 蕭白. Provenance: From the collection of Felix Tikotin, and thence by descent within the family. Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. Born in Glogau, Germany, to a Jewish family, his ancestors had returned with Napoleon from Russia from a town named Tykocin. He grew up in Dresden and after World War I, he traveled to Japan and immediately fell in love with the culture. In April 1927, he opened his first own gallery in Berlin. The entire family survived the Holocaust, and in the 1950s Tikotin slowly resumed his activities as a dealer in Japanese art. He became, once again, very successful and prominent, holding exhibitions all over Europe and the United States. When he first visited Israel in 1956, he decided that the major part of his collection belonged in that country. In 1960, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was opened in Haifa. Condition: Good condition with minor wear, minuscule soling, small creases, and few old repairs with touch ups. The paper mountings are in similar condition with minor creasing and soiling. Dimensions: Image size ca. 133.5 x 56 cm (each), Size incl. mounting ca. 198 x 67 (each) Soga Shohaku, (1730-1781), original name Miura Sakonjiro, was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period who tried to revive the brush-style drawing of the great masters of the Muromachi period. As a young man, Shohaku studied painting under the guidance of Takada Keiho of the Kano school in Kyoto, but his disillusionment with contemporary art led him to look to the past for inspiration. He came to greatly admire the works of the Muromachi painter, Soga Jasoku, and began calling himself Jasoku ken, or Jasoku jussei (‘the tenth’). He excelled in ink monochrome portraits, which he made with powerful brushwork using broad strokes, which is exemplified in these five panels. Many of his paintings today are housed in museums such as the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Kimbell Art Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

SOGA SHOHAKU: A SCROLL PAINTING OF KANZAN AND JITTOKU
Est: €1,500 - €3,000
SOGA SHOHAKU: A SCROLL PAINTING OF KANZAN AND JITTOKU By Soga Shohaku (1730-1781), sealed Joki Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Ink on paper. Mounted as a hanging scroll on a silk brocade frame, with wood jikusaki (roller ends). Depicting the two famous immortals Kanzan (Hanshan) and Jittoku (Shide), holding a scroll and broom respectively. Inscriptions: One seal, ‘Joki’ 如鬼. Image SIZE 108 x 28 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 187 x 39.5 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Some soiling and creasing. Provenance: From the estate of Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009). One letter of authentication by Prof. Yasuichi Awakawa (a noted paintings expert and author of the 1970 publication Zen Painting), accompanies this lot. Pao was one of Canada’s leading dealers of Japanese & Chinese porcelain and works of art. His antique store, Pao & Moltke Ltd., owned together with his wife Mrs. von Moltke, who descended from a German and Danish noble family, was a fixture in Toronto’s trendy Yorkville area from the 1980s to early 2000s. With an inscribed tomobako storage box. The hakogaki inscription is by the well-known collector and scholar on Zen Painting Awakawa Yasuichi (Awakawa Koichi) 淡川泰一 (1902-1976): 曽我蕭白先生寒山拾得 "Soga Shohaku sensei Kanzan Jittoku" [Kanzan and Jittoku, by master Soga Shohaku]. 淡川泰謹題鑑 "Awakawa Yasu (Yasuchi) tsutsushinde daishi kansu" [Awakawa Yasuichi examined this and attested this] with the seal of 康 Yasu (of Yasuichi). These two Chinese hermits - known in Japanese as Kanzan (Chinese: Hanshan) and Jittoku (Chinese: Shide) - lived near the sacred mountain Tiantaishan during the Tang dynasty (618-907). They appear frequently in Zen Buddhist paintings, representing rejection of the secular world and the search for enlightenment. Soga Shohaku (1730-1781) was a painter of the Edo period. Shohaku distinguished himself from his contemporaries by preferring the brush style of the Muromachi period, an aesthetic that was already passé 150 years before his birth. He became a painter in his late 20s, and studied under Takada Keiho of the prominent Kano School, which drew upon Chinese techniques and subject matters. It is recorded that he studied the painting methods of the Soga School and the Unkoku School, which his actual artwork reflects. Auction comparison: For two other Zen paintings authenticated by Yasuichi Awakawa see Christie’s, Japanese and Korean Art, 18 March 2008, New York, lot 132 (sold for USD 3,750) and lot 134 (sold for USD 21,250).

He studied Taoist magical arts under the tutelage of Lü Dongbin, another of the Eight Immortals. Han Xiangzi is often depicted carrying a dizi (Chinese flute), so he is also regarded as the patron deity of flutists. He is also believed to be the composer of the Taoist musical piece Tian Hua Yin (天花引). It is not known if Han Xiangzi existed historically. However, he is believed to be Han Xiang, a grandnephew of Han Yu, a prominent politician, poet and Confucian scholar who lived in the Tang dynasty. There are at least three different accounts about Han Xiang and Han Yu's grandnephew. Primary Material: Paper; Technique: Hand-painted; Roller Ends: Bone; Condition: Refer to all pictures (Stain, Wrinkle, Damage); Soga Shōhaku (曾我蕭白) (1730–1781) was a Japanese painter of the Edo period. Shōhaku distinguished himself from his contemporaries by preferring the brush style of the Muromachi period, an aesthetic that was already passé 150 years before his birth.[1] Shōhaku's birth name was Miura Sakonjirō. His family was wealthy, but all of his immediate family members died before he reached the age of 18. As a young man, he was a student of Takada Keiho of the prominent Kanō School, which drew upon Chinese techniques and subject matters.[2] His disillusionment with the school led him to appreciate the works of Muromachi era painter Soga Jasoku. He began to use the earlier style of brushstroke, painting mostly monochromes, despite the fact it had become unfashionable.[1]

In many of the rooms of his house, Japanese screens of various heights, stretched flat, were placed on the wall, newly framed by him. Sometimes Wright designed wooden slats to hit the screen at the folds of each panel. He had been incorporating Japanese screens into rooms in this manner since at least his 1906 proposal for the remodelling of the Peter A. Beachy house in Oak Park, Illinois. These four paintings were part of two multi-panel 'Shohaku folding screens' by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), who transported them fro
