FROM THE COLLECTION OF MR SOHO TOKUTOMI
Mr Soho Tokutomi (1863 - 1957) was a famous journalist, who was very active between the Meiji and Showa periods. At the age of 28, he founded "Kokumin (People's) Newspaper" and worked as a chief editor and managing director for many years. As a historian he was extremely famous known especially for his The Modern Japanese History volume 1-100.
Mr Tokutomi deeply appreciated Chinese culture, as he was acquainted with Tang dynasty Poem Selection, and he was highly respected by policy-makers, business leaders and Chinese poem specialist Shinpei Goto.
He was able to form a major collection of important Chinese paintings with a help from his great circle of friends, such as the Chinese seal maker Senro Kawai, historian Konan Naito and graduates from University of Toa Doubunshoin.
Mr Tokutomi and Qi Baishi were born in the same year, thus Mr Tokutomi had a special connection with Qi Baishi. They kept a good relationship for a long time and coincidentally, they passed away in the same year. Lot 965 is one of Mr Tokutomi's collection that the Japanese Foundation has kept on behalf of Mr Tokutomi after his death. Paintings by Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi from the same collection will be sold in the Fine Chinese Modern Paintings section on 27 November 2012.
