拍品描述 翻译
A PAIR OF WOOD KOMAINU (KOREAN GUARDIAN DOGS), MUROMACHI PERIOD

Japan, 15th-16th century, Muromachi period (1333-1573)

Each finely carved from cypress wood of an attractive grain and color, seated on its haunches, the flaming tail rising upwards, the head with fierce expression, large painted eyes behind glass, and scrolling mane. One lion with a horn and closed mouth, uttering the syllable ‘um’, the other without the horn and with the mouth open, uttering the syllable ‘ah’.

HEIGHT 83 cm and 74 cm

Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, flaking and losses to gesso and pigment, expected age cracks, minor chips, small losses.

Male and female pairs of shishi guard the approaches to the holy enclosures of Shinto shrines. They are usually known as komainu (literally ‘dogs of Koma’ – Koma meaning Kokuryo, one of the three countries of ancient Korea). The lion not being indigenous to Asia, the concept of the shishi was probably originally introduced to Japan through China and Korea via India from the Middle East. They are found in Shinto shrines from the late Heian period onwards standing to the left and right of a pathway or entrance. That on the right has an open mouth, and that on the left has a closed mouth said to signify the universal sounds ‘ah’ and ‘um’ – the beginning and the end. Sometimes early examples have a single horn as with this pair.

Museum comparison:
Compare a related pair of komainu, dated c. 1450, each 39.4 cm high, in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, accession number 2006.71.1-.2.
