Suzuki SHONEN
(1849-1918)
Daruma Doll
Black ink (sumi) and colour on paper.
340 x 250 mm.
Signed Suzuki Shonen.
The inscription reads: “The daruma doll (because he is round) can drink and drink but doesn’t fall”.
Suzuki Shonen, together with his father Suzuki Hyakunen, was one of the leading painters active in Kyoto during the Meiji period, working in the Shijo and Nanga painting styles.
After the country became more open to the West in the second half of the nineteenth century, they made efforts to preserve the subjects and style of traditional Japanese painting. Shonen received a number of commissions from local temples and taught Japanese-style painting at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting.
He won awards for his art at both national and international exhibitions, including the Chicago World Exposition and the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900.
