Origin: Japan   Shape: Mythology : Blowfish/Fugu   Material: Bronze
Period: Edo (1603-1868)   Location: Musee Cernuschi, Paris (Retour d'Asie exhibition)   (photo by: JJD)
Description: Incense burner made with bronze, gilding, glass, silk and gold thread.
This incense burner is made up of a hollow fish, whose mouth is pierced to let the smoke of the incense escape, and Ryujin, the Dragon King. Recognizable by the little dragon clinging to his back, the Dragon King holds in his hands the jewel commanding the tides, a symbol of wealth and power.
His monstrous mount mixes two species, the blowfish or fugu, which swells and expands bristles with thorns in case of danger, and the catfish, recognizable by the barbels around its wide mouth and the bulging eyes on its flat head. The Dragon King offering the pearl is associated with abundance. However, his irascible appearance reminds us that his anger triggers storms.

Origin: Japan   Shape: Sphere : Dragon   Material: Bronze
Period: Meiji (1868-1912)   Location: Musee Cernuschi, Paris   (photo by: JJD)
Description: Composed of two assembled elements, this huge incense burner was made using the lost wax casting technique (rogata imono). The vase, spherical in shape, and its openwork lid to allow the diffusion of incense smoke are decorated with phoenixes and cloud motifs in relief. A frieze, obtained by the repetition of two stylized dragons on a background of swastikas (sayagata), surrounds the upper edge. The dragon with its fierce bearded mouth, releases, through the tension of its sinuous body, a powerful energy.
Renowned for his dragons, Kimura Toun is the author of this object. He was the disciple and successor of the founder Murata Seimin (1761-1837), famous for his okimono (literally objects to pose) in the shape of a turtle. Highly appreciated in the Parisian Japanese circles of the 19th century to which Cernuschi belonged, Kimura Toun was named by the writer Edmond de Goncourt (1822-1896) the creator of soft bronze.
