(See the Google Driver below for more works.)

Oishi Yoshio (1659-1703) swore revenge on behalf of his lord about 320 years ago in the Edo era and took revenge. During the hospitality of the emperor, he fought with Kira Yoshinaka, who had been arguing against Asano Naganori for personal reasons. Afterwards, due to the problem wielding swords in the imperial court, Asano Naganori committed suicide as ordered by Bakufu. After the death of his lord, Asano Naganori, Oishi Yoshio swore revenge and rallied 47 warriors including him. As revenge on the man whom he regarded as his enemy, he raided the house of Kira Yoshinaka who was sleeping, decapitated him and sacrificed it in front of Asano Naganori's grave. After completing his work, Oishi Yoshio also surrendered and ended his short life as ordered by Bakufu, and the other warriors of 46 committed suicide one after another at the same time on the same day. He is the protagonist of historical events in Japan and commonly belongs to 47 samurai. In this portrait drawn by Oishi Yoshio, Sugawara Michizane was exquisitely depicted sitting in the garden under the Japanese apricot tree, wearing traditional Japanese clothes. Widely regarded as a statesman, poet, and god of learning, Sugawara Michizane was pictured and put on Japanese currency in 1930. While leaving exile, Sugawara Michizane recited as wriiten in his poem, “When the east wind blows, send your fragrance, apricot flowers. Even though there is no owner, do not forget the spring. 東風吹かば 匂ひをこせよ 梅の花 主なしとて 春な忘れそ.” His poetry is widely known. If the Japanese people see this portrait, they will know the painting is a national treasure-leveled masterpiece that will surprise them. Oishi Yoshio, who drew this painting, is also a person respected by the Japanese people in Japanese history. Sugawara Michizane, the main character in the picture, is also admired even more by the Japanese people as the god of learning.

Nichiren's Calligraphy of Buddhist Mantras / Seoul

Here is the calligraphy which was written with a brush by the founder of the Japanese Buddhist Nichiren sect. Why don’t you appreciate it? We are waiting for exhibitions in museums and galleries or Top 200 Collectors who are interested in the calligraphy. We welcome not only Japanese collectors but also other collectors. (See the Google Driver below for more works.) 

Nichiren (1222-1282) is the founder of the Nichiren sect about 780 years ago in the Kamakura era. Because of his unique assertiveness and uncompromising character, he was once persecuted and exiled. He is now widely respected as the founder of the Nichiren Sect. The 50 or more works written in calligraphy on the Japanese traditional Washi are made up of ancient unique Japanese words written in a cursive hand in Chinese characters and Hiragana. Unfortunately, the state of mounting of this calligraphy has been damaged for a long time, and only the original part of the calligraphy remains. There is no seal on this calligraphy but only Nichiren's signature remains. About 45 years ago, two elderly monks over the age of 90 at Myoren-ji, a Buddhist temple in Japan, struggled to decipher the lines of the calligraphy. It is said that it took 30 years for my ancestor to read the mantras of this calligraphy after purchasing it. After that, an elderly monk over 80 years old from the temple Myoren-ji visited Korea twice to ask for the donation of the calligraphy to be made. (Omitted) Nichiren's calligraphy was registered as a national treasure and an important cultural asset of Japan. If you have any questions to ask, we will send you all information and show you the real look of the calligraphy
