2 Days Japanese Art

This two-day Japanese Art auction, presented by Eldred’s, offers a glimpse into Japanese culture and history.  Japanese art covers a broad spectrum that includes ancient pottery, sculpture, calligraphy, ink painting, and ukiyo-e paintings and woodblock prints, to name a few.  The first day of the auction features an ivory kiseru(smoking pipe) carrying case known as a kiseru-zutsu. This unique piece of ivory has a picture depicting a samurai outside of a gate reading a scroll.  

The second day of the auction highlights a rare 1935 Paul Jocoulet (1896-1960) woodblock print titled “A Corean Girl.”  This print is of a Japanese woman in a plain blue dress and white kimono holding a colorful fan.
