Samurai, Minamoto no Yoshiie 源義家 - Kasen 華僊 - Japan (No Reserve Price)
For the Japanese nobility of the Heian period (794-1185), Nakoso Barrier marked one of the boundaries between the civilized world and the dangerous and less orderly regions beyond.
In this painting, the great warrior Minamoto no Yoshiie (1041-1106), who was renowned for his martial skills, pauses at the barrier on his return toward Kyoto after successful battles to the north.
There he wrote the poem that is inscribed above this painting:
Although I thought
the wind would blow
at Nakoso Barrier
how deeply the mountain cherry blossoms
cover the path
Material of the roller ends: Wood
