AN IMPORTANT PAINTING FROM THE DAISUKE NOHARA COLLECTION
This Qi Baishi painting belonged to Daisuke Nohara (1882-1954). Daisuke Nohara was born in Lida, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from Kyoto Imperial University, he joined the Yokohama Specie Bank. He was posted by the Bank to Bombay, London and various cities in China from the 1910s to the 1930s. Nohara's assignment to China began around 1921 and ended in 1927, during that time he and his family lived in Tianjin, Beijing, Qingdao, Harbin and Shanghai.
Nohara probably met Qi Baishi in Beijing during their stay in China and hence commissioned the artist to paint this work. This painting is a reflection of the artist's skill as well as his friendship with Nohara.
