Lot Essay

It is likely that the present work is unique as the sculptor's record book only lists one cast of Trough Torii, which would be numbered 1/6. It is possible, however, that another cast was made and not recorded.

We are very grateful to Judith LeGrove for her assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
