This volume introduces 161 examples from the greatest group of
Meiji-period masterpieces in metal ever assembled, decorated in an
astonishing variety of virtuoso techniques and drawing on a vast
store of subject matter derived from Chinese and Japanese history,
legend, and religion. It includes a vast and hitherto unknown
bronze incense-burner by Suzuki Chokichi (1848-1919), an
exquisitely decorated elephant incense-burner by Shoami Katsuyoshi
(1832-1908), a large group of iron pieces decorated in gold by the
Komai family of Kyoto, and ornaments commissioned from leading
artists by the Ozeki company. Kano Natsuo (1828-98), the
outstanding decorative metalworker of 19th century Japan, is
represented by a table-screen in shibuichi, and there is another
screen of Shoki the demon-queller, by his great contemporary Unno
Shomin (1844-1915). The sculptural highlight of the entire
Collection is a group by Otake Norikuni (b. 1852) representing the
deity Susanoo no Mikoto receiving the sacred jewel.
