Status:This item has been sold Sold by:Antik Dragon Japanese & Other Fine Art
Japanese antique Taisho (1919) bronze okimono of two turtles, in the style of Murata Seimin (1781-1837). It is inscribed with the words ‘Taisho, 12th October 1919’ and signed Amamiya Shoun with a foundry mark. Large turtle measures 44cm long x 21cm deep x 12cm high, smaller 32cm x 18cm x 10cm, weight 8.15kg and 3.75kg respectively (total 11.9kg).
Excellent condition and patina. Would make a wonderful garden ornament.
Murata Seimin I was the first of a long line of bronze craftsmen who specialized in precise bronze sculpting using the lost-wax method. Much of his work was of Buddhist subjects, such as the casting of 500 arhats (disciples of the Buddha) at Kenchoji Temple in Kamakura. His other work included vases and ornaments, and he was famed for his studies of turtles/tortoises.
