Rare 19thC Okimono of Large Seal Form. Soga Brothers Story Juro and Asahina
This is a fantastic and Rare Okimono in the form of a Huge seal depicting part of the 12thC blood feud story of the Soga Brothers. This particular scene is Asahina restraining the younger brother Juro from going to the aid of his elder brother Goro , in the process ripping off a plate of his armour. Like all revenge stories they all come to a sticky end. The Okimono itself is from a sale of articles from a Cambridge college's collection and still has it's label.

It has boldly and skilfully carved faces and excellent detail especially the amour and costume decoration. A great piece and so much more interesting than the usual Farmers and Fishermen.
