A sweet little frog rests on the tattered edges of a decaying lotus leaf forming this large basin dating from the Taisho to early Showa era (early 20th century) by Hatta Sogaku, an artist active in the early 20th century, enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Hasu-ha-gata Suiban and signed Doraku-an Sogaku. It is 43.5 x 30 x 9 cm (17 x 12 x 3-1/2 inches) and is in excellent condition.
