H 02017.0 $200.00
"Slightly oval goishi-gata iron plate that is carved with a classical Chinese style landscape of small figures by a sea shore with trees, a lake, and mountains at the top of the plate. The reverse with a continuation of the same scene. With a few dots of gold and copper.
Signed on the reverse, left side of seppa dai: 'JAKUSHI', H 02017.0. One of the many examples of the sosho signature of the Jakushi family school in the late Edo period. They lived and worked in Nagasaki of Hizen Province." (Haynes)


"The Jakushi family resided in Nagasaki for several generations. Their genealogy is not very clear. The first Jakushi was a priest who signed Somon Jakushi (Somon means priest). His style is gracious and elegant, denoting the period from Genroku to Hoei (1688-1710). His work is rare. The work of the later generations usually signed Jakushi, as had the first. Their plate is thicker and the decoration more detailed. The inlay is not sparse as in the work of the first.
An artist who signed Jakushi Kizaemon, or occasionally only Jakushi, is perhaps the second generation. It is probable that his nunome style was the prototype for the later generations." (Long)
