KAN: A MASTERFUL LACQUERED AND POTTERY-INLAID THREE-CASE INRO WITH AQUATIC LIFE
By Mochizuki Hanzan (1743-1790), sealed Kan 観
Japan, late 18
th
century, Edo period (1615-1868)
The three-case kiri (paulownia wood) inro of circular form, lacquered in thick takamaki-e and inlaid with glazed pottery and aogai to depict two fish and a cuttlefish amongst aquatic plants. Sealed to one side in red lacquer KAN. With a beautifully matching copper ojime in the form of a hamaguri clam, signed Atsutoshi.
HEIGHT 9 cm, LENGTH 8.5 cm
Condition: Very good condition and presenting beautifully. The wood ground with some light typical wear. The inlays and lacquer in fine condition with only very minor wear.
Provenance:
Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 10 November 2011, London, lot 79 (
sold for GBP 20,000
). A European private collection, acquired from the above.
Mochizuki Hanzan, thought to have lived from 1743 to 1790, called himself Haritsu II and was a close follower of the style of Ogawa Haritsu (1663-1747) though he was neither his son nor his pupil.
His works are sometimes sealed ‘Kan’ and it has become a challenge for scholars and collectors to distinguish some of these works from those of Ogawa Haritsu, however in this case there is a very similar inro signed Hanzan (see literature comparison), hence the attribution is crystal clear.
Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related circular wood inro with a design of crabs and shells, bearing a very similar red lacquer seal and signed Hanzan, illustrated in Barry Davies Oriental Art (1993) Inro One Hundred Selected Masterpieces, no. 7.
