Description
Superb Japanese Taisho early 20th Century bronze horse by Kunio Itô (1980-1970), depicted standing foursquare on a rectangular rocky base. Signed on the base. Excellent condition and patina. Born in Iwate Prefecture, Kunio Itô devoted his life to the creation of horse statues, exhibiting with the Bunten National Exhibition and the Exhibition of the National Art Society, among others. His work ‘Rush of a Gun Carriage’ (horses pulling a gun carriage through the mud) is held in the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, while his sculpture of the Meiji Emperor’s Horse stands among 700 cherry trees in Atago Park (Noheji, Aomori prefecture), while two large horse sculptures (one with a foal) are located in the grounds of the Hokkaido Agricultural School.
