PREVIOUSLY IN THE COLLECTION OF HOSOKAWA MORISADA (LOTS 961-962)The Hosokawa family were the domain lords of Kumamoto in Kyushu. In the 14th century, Hosokawa Kazuuji (1296-1342) and Hosokawa Yoriyuki (1329-1392) assisted Ashikaga Takauji (1305-1358) and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) to establish the Muromachi shogunate period. In 1950, Hosokawa Moritatsu (1883-1970) of the 16th generation, catalogued his family’s art collection and set up the Eisei-Bunko Museum. The Collection was later transferred to Hosokawa Morisada (1912-2005). After retiring from political life, Morisada focused on acquiring and studying Asian art including Chinese paintings and calligraphy, and thereby enriching the Hosokawa Collection.
