PROPERTY OF SETO JUTARO (LOTS 974-978)Seto Jutaro was one of the founding members of the youth group, Seinen Konwakai, which sought to help rebuild the economy in Japan after the war. He was the Excecutive Adviser of Ajinomoto Co., Inc. During the 1980s, Seto often travelled for trade to China where he became acquainted with artists, mainly painters, among whom Dong Shouping was one. Seto invited them to Japan for cultural exchange and often showed them his collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy. The five classical works in this sale have their boxes inscribed by Dong Shouping during that time. A painting by Qi Baishi, from the same collection, will be sold in our Fine Chinese Modern Paintings sale on 28 May 2019 (Lot 1342).
