KANO TSUNENOBU: A SUPERB SCROLL PAITNING OF THE WILLOW AND WHITE-ROBED MOON KANNON
Est: €2,000 - €4,000
KANO TSUNENOBU: A SUPERB SCROLL PAITNING OF THE WILLOW AND WHITE-ROBED MOON KANNON School of Kano Tsunenobu (1636–1713), signed Tsunenobu hitsu with seal Seihaku Kan'un Japan, c. 1700, Edo period (1615-1868) Published: Jack Hillier (1973), The Harari Collection of Japanese Paintings and Drawings, Vol. 3, p. 376-7, pl. 191. Ink, watercolors, gouache, and gold on silk. Mounted as a hanging scroll on a silk brocade frame. Depicting the white-robed Kannon seated in royal ease on an overhang, the hands clasped around her raised knee, all framed by a large imposing full moon, above crashing waves. A vase of willow sprigs in a dish placed next to the Goddess of Mercy. Inscriptions: Signed to the base of the rock ‘Tsunenobu hitsu’ [Made by Tsunenobu], one seal ‘Seihaku Kan'un’. Inscribed to the verso, ‘Yamanaka & Co.; Awata Kyoto, Kano Tsunenobu 1636-1713 A.D.’ Image SIZE 48.5 x 35.7 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 172 x 48.5 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Some light soiling and one water stain near the vase. Provenance: Yamanaka & Co. Inc., Kyoto, Japan. Ex-collection Ralph Harari, London, c. 1950-60s. Ex-collection Richard Kelton, acquired from the above. Painted images of the Buddhist deity Kannon wearing white robes and seated on a rocky outcropping emerged in China during the Tang dynasty (618–907) and became important in the Zen sect of Buddhism before it was introduced to Japan a few hundred years later. Such images refer to a passage from the Avatamsaka Sutra, a sacred Buddhist text that narrates the story of Zenzai Doji, a boy who sets out on a journey of truth and consults with numerous teachers, Kannon being one of them. Kannon is a bodhisattva, an enlightened being that forgoes Buddhahood in order to assist humans on the path to enlightenment. According to the text, the boy finds Kannon in Fudaraku, the bodhisattva’s paradise, seated on a boulder in a warm, misty locale. The boy’s journey and his encounter with Kannon can be seen as allegories for Zen practice and the path to enlightenment, so Zen masters hung paintings of white-robed Kannon in the temple hall devoted to the training of novice monks. The willow branch placed in the vase adjacent to the deity identifies her as a manifestation of Willow (Yoryu) Kannon. The willow branch is believed to ward off evil and illness, while the vase contains nectar with healing powers. Kano Tsunenobu (1636–1713) was a Japanese painter of the Kano school. He first studied under his father, Kano Naonobu, and then his uncle, Kano Tan'yu, after his father's death. He became a master painter and succeeded his uncle Tan'yu as head of the Kano school in 1674. It is believed many works attributed to Tan'yu might actually be by Tsunenobu, but it is difficult to know since they often worked on larger pieces together.

KANO TSUNENOBU (1636-1713): 'KARAKO BOYS AT PLAY'
Est: €800 - €1,500
KANO TSUNENOBU (1636-1713): 'KARAKO BOYS AT PLAY' Japan, late 17th-18th century. Ink, and watercolor on silk. Mounted as a hanging scroll on a silk brocade coated paper frame with wooden handles. Gracefully painted, a group of boys play together in a grassy meadow with large rocks near a rushing stream beneath a tall maple tree. Inscriptions: Signed, 'Tsunenobu hitsu' 常信筆 ('Painted by Tsunenobu') and stamped with the artist's pot-seal mark. 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 own first 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 staining, small losses or tears with associated touch-ups, and some dark spots. The silk brocade is in good condition with minor wear. Dimensions: Image size 115.5 x 47.8 cm, Size incl. mounting 206 x 60 cm Kano Tsunenobu (1636-1713) was a Japanese painter of the Kano school. He first studied under his father, Kano Naonobu, and then his uncle, Kano Tan'yu, after his father's death. He became a master painter and succeeded his uncle Tan'yu as head of the Kano school in 1674. It is believed that many works attributed to Tan'yu might actually be by Tsunenobu, but it is difficult to know since they often worked on larger pieces together. The Kano School was the longest lived and most influential school of painting in Japanese history; its more than 300-year prominence is unique in world art history. Working from the fifteenth century into modern times, this hereditary assemblage of professional and secular painters succeeded in attracting numerous patrons from the most affluent social classes by developing, mastering, and promoting a broad range of painting styles, pictorial themes, and formats. Throughout the centuries, the Kano school consisted of numerous studios where groups of well trained and skillful craftsmen worked together to serve clients from wealthy classes like samurai, aristocrats, Buddhist clergy, and the increasingly affluent merchants. While they attempted to remain obscure, in part relying on family ties for commissions, the popularity and prominence of the Kano school led to the establishment of offshoots in many cities. The Kano school style was transmitted even more widely by artists who were trained by Kano painters but not officially connected with family studios, and by rival artists imitating their style to suit patrons' demands.
