Good condition overall.; Catalogue from an exhibition of Japanese Lacquer: NamboKucho to Zeshin, with pieces from the Collection of Mike and Hiroko Dean.;.Nambokucho (1336-1392) constitutes a short period at the end of the Kamakura era. It was a time of internal disturbances and two rival branches of the Imperial family were vying for succession. The most powerful of the warlords, Ashikaga Takauji, occupied Kyoto, and had himself appointed shogun by Emperor Komyo of the Kohu-cho (northern dynasty) in order to set up Ashikaga Shogunate of the early Muromachi period. The branch of the Imperial family with the more legitimate claim of the succession, had established its court around the Emperor Go-Daigo at Mt. Yoshino, about 70 km south of Kyoto; hence Hoku-cho (northern dynasty in Kyoto) and Nan-cho (southern dynasty at Mt. Yoshino). As the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate increased, the Kohu-cho branch grew more powerful and in 1392, Nan-cho agreed to return to Kyoto at the request of the Shogun. Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891), well known to Western collectors, was the last of the great creative lacquer artists of the Edo period.; "Most of the pieces in this collection were discovered in London and some of them are highly unusual, having few or no counterparts in Japanese museums or private collections. Included in this category are Japanese lacquers made for export to Europe in the Edo period. Even though these export lacquers are not necessarily of the highest quality, they are noteworthy for their importance as documents of cultural history." excerpt from the preface by Professor Motto Yoshimura.
