This is the earliest surviving example of the "horse stable" theme in Japanese screens.

Description

Prized horses in stables may be the main theme of this pair of screens, but lots of action is happening on the verandas. Falconry is the focus of one of the screens, while in the other, people challenge one another at two different boardgames, go and shōgi. A martial atmosphere develops in the interplay of the dynamic horses, the birds of prey, and the strategic games.
A pair of large, six-panel, horizontally folding screens depicting scenes at horse stables. Each scene depicts horses in stables and people outside, playing games or involved in other leisure activities.

    1000 piece puzzle Peafowl, ducks, flowers and rocks, 1800–1880Nagasaki school, JapanPaintings of birds and flowers enjoy a long tradition in Japanese art. This hanging scroll reflects the realism of the Nagasaki school, an Edo period school or style of painting. The Edo period (1603–1868) was a time of great significance in Japan’s history because at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the country was unified under the Tokugawa family after years of civil unrest. The following years were ones of unprecedented peace and prosperity, prompting an increase in artistic, cultural, and social development. Puzzle size: 20 x 29 in

    Colors of Kyoto: The Seifū Yohei Ceramic Studio
    by Maezaki Shinya and Sinéad Vilbar, Janice Hammond and Edward Hemmelgarn Curator of Japanese Art This latest volume in the Cleveland Masterwork Series focuses on an important studio of late nineteenth- to mid-twentieth century Japanese ceramic artists. The first comprehensive look in English at the Seifū Yohei ceramic studio in Kyoto, from the Meiji period (1868–1912) to the mid-Shōwa period (1926–1989), this book takes the James and Christine Heusinger Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art as its core material. The principal essay provides a biography of Seifū Yohei III, the star of the studio and the first ceramist to be named an Imperial Household Artist, as well as an overview of the studio that contextualizes it in the world of literati painting, sencha (steeped green tea), and international trade. A second essay offers a brief history of porcelain production in Kyoto, along with a discussion of objects produced by the Seifū studio for sencha. The catalogue of one hundred works examines the wide variety of forms, decorative techniques, and glazes that made the studio’s works unique. 216 pagesAugust 2023

    Haiku: Seasonal Japanese Art and Poetry Boxed Notecard Assortment
    The roots of Japanese haiku reach back over a thousand years. In this poetic form, as in life, there is a pause, a shift, in which the poet celebrates sensory awareness of the season, perhaps suggested by the scent of peony blossoms or the silence of snow-covered tree limbs. The timeless appeal of this understated poetry may be the human desire to capture one’s impressions of a fleeting moment. Such seasonal allusions emphasize the essence of haiku: nature and its ephemeral beauty. This boxed notecard assortment features four haiku paired with reproductions of exquisite Japanese woodcuts. Each poem is rendered in Japanese calligraphy, Romaji transliteration, and English translation.
