Attn: Dr. Ross Walker
Sir,
It was with great interest that we recently came across your website in an attempt to identify the artist of two watercolours that we possess. The subject matter in both indicated a Japanese influence but the signature was in western text. The age of the water colours was unknown to us.
The signature appeared to be K Yoma, or Kyoma. It was only a result of consulting your website that we realized that the signature, in actuality, was Kyoha, and that the distinctive style and signature matched the Kyoha water colour displayed in your collection.
I take the liberty of attaching photographs of the water colours in question for your interest. We purchased the larger (image size 31 ½ cm by 23 cm) Mount Fuji scene from an antique dealer here in Nova Scotia, and were fortunate enough to recognize and purchase the second (image size 23 ½ cm by 15 ½ cm) in a “tray” lot in a subsequent auction (God only knows how they found their way here).
We were, and are, very much “taken” with the sense of serenity and tranquility inherent in this artist’s imagery and even more so now that we have become more knowledgeable about the artist and period, thanks to the information contained in your website.
Sincerely, |
|
