Description

IIZUKA Studio

Probably Iizuka Hōsai II (1872-1934)

Unsigned

This basketwork is fabulous even though it is not signed. It is certain that it comes from the Iizuka studio and completely corresponds to the style of Hōsai II (1872-1934). But it could also be by the hand of Rōkansai and made at a time when Hōsai II ran the family studio, and did not allow his younger brother (future Rōkansai) to sign his works.
