About the Item

MUSEUM QUALITY SATSUMA VASE BY OKAMOTO RYOZAN From our Japanese Satsuma collection, we are absolutely delighted to bring to market this exceptional Japanese Satsuma Vase by Okamoto Ryozan and the Yasuda Company. The good sized Satsuma Vase of tapered form with four flat sides and a waisted neck leading to square opening stood upon a square foot rim. Starting from the top of the vase, the opening is finished in gold with an unusual internal border around the inner shoulder, the top border leads to layered borders with gilt scrollwork patterns incorporating floral motifs and polychrome colours. The shoulder of the vase has two alternating patterns each with a central roundel, the first features a Hoo (ho-o) mythical Phoenix bird surrounded by polychrome leafy vines on a black glaze with tight gold scrollwork. The second alternating pattern features a central Komainu (狛犬) surrounded by four individual patterns which repeat every four intervals. At the base of the shoulder, the vase is split by a greek key gilt border meeting each individual panel of the body. The main body of the Satsuma Vase is decorated with two large panels painted with extensive landscapes and two panels featuring a total of ten individual recreations from The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido originally by Utagawa Hiroshige. The large landscapes are painted in the iconic Ryozan format with multiple figures in a river scene with blossoming flowers and a mountains landscape. The first scene features a plethora of figures in a small village mainly depicting mothers with their children. To the right hand side a tea house rest stop can be seen with males seated having their lunch as a waitress brings a pot of tea on a tray. The scene is finished with beautiful blossoming trees, foliage and multiple mountains to the background within a gilt pinstripe cartouche border. The reverse scene features a similar scene with a large river breaking through the centre of the painting amongst multiple bridges with various figures crossing including Geisha in brightly coloured kimonos and children, all beautifully painted to the highest quality. Amongst the extensive foliage, blossoming flowers and pagoda topped buildings there is a Torii gate to the centre and a further mountain to the background, the two landscape scenes likely stop offs on the Tokaido between Edo and Kyoto. The third and fourth panel feature ten individual hand painted block prints, five to each side the first upon a deep reddish-brown ground with a large scrolling vine superbly painted blossoming flower heads. The second sits on a black ground with tightly decorated gold scrolls with polychrome butterflies and floral roundels. Each hand painted block print depicts one of the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido in particular the Hoeido edition known as Tokaido Gojusan-tsugi no uchi 東海道五十三次之内. Additionally to the fifty-three stations themselves, the Hoeido series includes one print for the departure, Nihonbashi (the bridge of Japan), and a final one, the 55th print, Keishi, Kyoto, the imperial capital. See photo for the direct comparison of the block prints vs the vase (originals on the left, painted vase on the right). Each block print painting is signed with the description of the image as above, the title of the series Tokaido Gojusan-tsugi no uchi 東海道五十三次之内 which is from the original Hoeido edition by Utagawa Hiroshige painted in 1833–1834 and, 広重画 which translates as painted by Hiroshige (the original artist of the block prints Utagawa Hiroshige) along with the original seal marks. The Satsuma Vase is finished with the makers signature Okamoto Ryozan 亮山造, the Yasuda Company mark and the Shimzau crest painted on the base. The Japanese Satsuma Vase by Okamoto Ryozan for the Yasuda Company dates to the Japanese Meiji period (1868-1912) and the very beginning of the 20th century circa 1905. We are extremely privileged to be able to offer such an incredible quality vase and are confident you will agree the quality is quite the masterpiece.
