Alainalain Posted July 5, 2021 Report Posted July 5, 2021 I share with you an menpo from my collection for which I require your help. it is an unsigned Edo period ressei menpo, very expressive of which I do not know the school. In natural iron, it has a very prominent upper lip (the mustache is missing) the teeth are silver lacquered and it has a wide sweat running hole and a otayori. What is your opinion about the school and the period (early to late Edo?). If you know of other similar menpo? Thank you in advance. 2 Quote
YOJIMBO Posted July 5, 2021 Report Posted July 5, 2021 very ugly, better to sell quickly --------- to me 1 Quote
uwe Posted July 5, 2021 Report Posted July 5, 2021 Bevor you sell it to Simon, let's try me approach your questions First, it's a quite nice me-no-shita-men. The chin part reminds me of some Mito works, but I need to do a little homework first..... Will come back to this asap! 1 Quote
Luc T Posted July 5, 2021 Report Posted July 5, 2021 As Uwe said, likely Myochin. Really nice uchidachi! Quote
Alainalain Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Posted July 6, 2021 Thank you for this first informations, if you have complementary it will be very nice Quote
uwe Posted July 9, 2021 Report Posted July 9, 2021 Well, I couldn't find a similar reference piece (actually no surprice). So all we can say for the time beeing is, that it's most likely a Myôchin work of the mid/late Edo period. Sorry can't be more specific.... Quote
