• Lot n° 213 Japan (1864 - 1931) 127,5 x 75,5 cm Painting, likely part of a set. Ink and color on silk. Depicts a samurai being dressed with the assistance of two attendants. Seal at lower right: Tomoto no in (鞆音之印). Mounted as a hanging scroll. From an old German private collection - Kobori Tomoto was a prominent Japanese painter of the Meiji, Taishō, and early Shōwa periods and a key figure in the revival of traditional Yamato-e painting. As a founding member of the Nihon Bijutsuin, he specialized in historical subjects and depictions of warriors. In 1917 he was appointed Court Artist to the Imperial Household Agency (Teishitsu Gigei-in), one of the highest distinctions that could be bestowed upon an artist in Japan at the time. In this role he produced works for the imperial court and retained the title until his death in 1931.The present painting demonstrates Kobori's mastery of historical genre painting. The depiction of a samurai being assisted by two attendants while dressing in his robes or armor captures a moment of preparation rather than combat itself, emphasizing discipline, hierarchy, and ritual action. The meticulous rendering of the garments and the refined narrative composition reflect Kobori's sustained engagement with Japan's martial past, a central theme throughout his oeuvre - Minor traces of age, with some light creasing
