hddennis Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Pictured is 3 panels of what should be a 4 sliding panel door space on my newly acquired Japanese cabinet. Sadly I'm missing one panel. Can anyone tell me what theme or action this depicts? I'm also trying to find out what the sitting figure may have been holding. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. Howard Dennis Quote
Matsunoki Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Hi Howard Maybe the middle panel depicts a sennin/arhat/(whatever we call them) reading an unrolled scroll. The missing door would have depicted a similar subject, not necessarily any particular story or theme…..but others with greater religious imagery knowledge may disagree. 2 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 The backgrounds are all very similar, in horizon and vegetation, almost standardized. A missing scroll makes sense. Is the figure on the left carrying a peach, for Momo Sennin? For the missing panel, another Sennin is likely. 3 Quote
