A FINE SILK EMBROIDERED PANEL DEPICTING A JAPANESE CHIN DOG A FINE SILK EMBROIDERED PANEL DEPICTING A JAPANESE CHIN DOG Japan, Meiji period (1615-1868) Embroidered on a fine silk ground. Mounted on wood and set inside its original frame behind glass. The furry dog stands facing the onlooker, its tricolor coat of white with black streaks along its overcoat and dark red on its ears and face. Its mouth is opened in a charming expression and its tail raised with wiry hair flowing downward. Image SIZE 23.1 x 33.6 cm, SIZE incl. frame 35.5 x 46.2 cm Condition: Good condition with some wear, light soiling, small losses, and a few tears to the upper right corner with associated repairs. The central image of the Chin dog is in remarkably good condition. The frame is in very good condition with expected losses to the brocade backing, minor scratches, and a few small nicks. The Japanese Chin, also known as the Japanese Spaniel, is a dog acknowledged for its importance to Japanese nobility. The dogs have a dot or a line on their forehead, which is associated with the touch of Buddha. While most believe that the source breed for the Japanese Chin originated in China, the route by which the Chin arrived in Japan is a widely debated topic. One story claims that the dogs were given to the Japanese royalty in AD 732 as gifts from the rulers of Korea. Others maintain that they were given as gifts to the Empress of Japan as early as the middle of the sixth century or by the seventh century. Auction comparison: Compare a related embroidered panel depicting pointer dogs by Aiko, also dated to the Meiji period, at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 6 November 2014, London, lot 217 (sold for 4,375 GBP).
