ROKUJURO Posted July 15 Report Posted July 15 The motif of the right one could be BENKEI and YOSHITSUNE. 1 Quote
Jake6500 Posted July 15 Report Posted July 15 (edited) I agree with Piers and Jean both, the style reminds me of Hikone Soten and the motif on the right could be Benkei and Yoshitsune which you might infer from the naginata held by the warrior on the fuchi (which Benkei is frequently depicted with). As for the motif of the piece on the left, I'm not sure, but maybe some sort of court scene is being depicted given the formal headwear and the seiza position on the fuchi? Alternatively, this could be a depiction of Noh theatre actors re-enacting a court scene as well? Edited July 15 by Jake6500 1 1 Quote

Exclus1ve Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 These are low-quality works of the mass segment. In the style of Soten, yes, but this is not even close to the work of the Soten school itself. The signature was made by a man who is just beginning to master a chisel. 1 Quote
