There were some magnificent examples of lacquer
ware with exquisite makiye in gold, boxes decorated
with landscapes and there were also various
excellent carved red-lacquer tables and trays. As
in the former sales, there were on this occasion
some fine paintings on silk. That which attracted

the greatest attention was a small kakemono, a

possession of Shogun Yoshimitsu, who is said to
have admired it greatly. Among a number of
excellent paintings by Chinese and Japanese artists
may be mentioned : Fugen Bosatsu by Chang Ssu
Kung, Dragon Arhat by Nan-Chung, a waterfall by
Okyo, Peacock on a Rock by Matsumura Goshun,
