A RARE BRONZE BUDDHIST RITUAL ‘LOTUS’ EKORO (LONG-HANDLED CENSER), 14TH-15TH CENTURY

Japan, 14th-15th century, late Kamakura (1185-1333) to Muromachi period (1336-1573)
Finely cast, composed of a chalice-shaped brazier with deep, gently rounded sides, raised on a circular, flat foot, fitted with a hinged openwork cover, designed to allow the passage of incense smoke, surmounted by a rounded finial, and a long handle that curves downward at the terminal end to ensure stability when placed on a flat surface. The body of the vessel finely incised with lotus petals, while the cover is decorated in the form of a Dharma wheel. The handle delicately ornamented with foliage on a finely ring-punched ground.
LENGTH 30.5 cm
Provenance: Collection of Anton Exner, thence by descent. Nagel, Asiatische Kunst, Stuttgart, 16 November 1996, lot 1325. A private collection in Budapest, Hungary, acquired from the above. Anton Exner (1882–1952) is regarded as the most important dealer, collector, and appraiser of Asian art in Vienna during the interwar period. His collection comprised a broad range of East Asian art forms, with a primary focus on Chinese and Japanese works from various dynasties and periods. Originating from modest circumstances, Exner had no formal higher education and acquired his expertise entirely through self-directed study. During an extended stay in Canada and the United States between 1908 and 1910, he established his first contacts with Chinese art dealers, and on his return voyage aboard a cargo vessel he acquired handcrafted objects and Japanese silk blouses at several Asian ports, items that would form the foundation of his later business in Vienna. From that time onward, Exner undertook almost annual purchasing trips to East Asia. Since 1912, he conducted his trade from his residence in Vienna, and the Dorotheum auction house appointed him as a state-certified appraiser of East Asian art, a position he held for approximately twenty-five years.
Condition: Good condition with surface wear and casting-inherent irregularities. Traces of handling and use with light signs of corrosion. Minimal warping. Scattered remnants of old gilding. The hinge of the cover and the foot of the handle slightly loose.
In Japanese Buddhist ritual practice, the officiating priest carries a long-handled censer, an emblem of his authority, as he leads processions of monks into and out of the image hall of a temple. During the ceremony, the ekoro is repeatedly lifted and placed before the image of the deity as an offering of incense. The act of fumigation is believed to purify the space and to dispel evil spirits. Censers of this type were also used in the ritual practice of the indigenous Shinto tradition of Japan. Following the introduction of Buddhism to Japan in the 7th century, Shinto incorporated many elements of Buddhist ritual practice and visual representation.
