Object Description
This exquisite and serene Japanese Bronze plaque depicts Minamoto no Yoshimitsu playing the Sho. He is seated on a rock beneath a tree and in the distance military banners hint at an impending battle. A full moon close to the horizon completes the scene.
Set in its original hardwood frame (simulating Bamboo), the plaque is decorated in relief with gold, silver, shakudo and shibuichi.
A vertical Gold cartouche in the lower right corner reads Fukuda.
