Further details

Yonezawa Akihiro (1923-1982) was a Japanese collector of Chinese painting and works of art. He once owned a Dong Qichang calligraphy in his collection, bearing the collector’s seals of Aoyama San’u (1912-1993), Lin Xiongguang (1897-1971), and his own. Akihiro’s sobriquet, Keisoshitsu, was inspired by Su Shi, a Song Dynasty artist and poet whom he greatly admired. Among his favorite paintings was a portrait of Su Shi by the Qing dynasty painter Gai Qi. It is rumoured that Yonezawa Akihiro had intended to acquire the renowned calligraphy by Su Shi, “The Cold Food Observance,” in Japan during the early 20th century before it was sold to Taiwan and was later acquired by the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Akihiro frequently visited Gyokusendo in Tokyo, an antique shop founded in 1818 that specialized in scholar’s objects. It was there that he met the artist Zhang Daqian, who taught him painting. Akihiro also had a close friendship with the distinguished collector Lin Xiongguang and was acquainted with the eminent American Chinese art scholar James Cahill (1926-2014).

From the same collection, a painting by Huang Shen will be offered in the Fine Chinese Classical Painting and Calligraphy auction on 27 November 2024 and a group of scholar’s objects will be offered in the Chinese Works of Art live and online auctions in Spring 2025.
